From today's Denver Post:

Warm, dry Thanksgiving week adds to Colorado's snowpack worries

Sunny and much warmer than average weather is in store for the Denver metro region for Thanksgiving week.

The National Weather Service in Denver is predicting highs at or above 60 degrees — including a high of 67 on Wednesday — as dry, warm air crosses the state from the southwest this week, forecasters said.

The southern stream from the trough of low pressure will shift north of the forecast area Monday as a ridge of high pressure amplifies," the National Weather Service in Grand Junction said Sunday. "This will bring dry conditions this week through at least Thanksgiving."

The average highs over the past 30 years in Denver are 50 degrees Monday and Tuesday and 49 Wednesday through Friday.

If Wednesday reaches 67 in the city, as predicted, it would still fall 7 degrees short of the record high of 73 for the date set in 1974.

Most of the state should see sunny, warm weather this week. Precipitation was expected to cross the northern and central mountain Sunday night, with up to 3 inches of snow possible at higher locations, mostly above timberline, with light rain in the valleys, forecasters said.

Durango, Aspen and Steamboat Springs are expected to see highs near 50 each day with no snow in the forecast through next weekend, according to the western Colorado forecast.

That's not good news for the state's ski industry or others affected by Colorado's ongoing severe drought.

Statewide snowpack as of Thursday was just 57 percent of the 30-year average for the date.

hey bro, at least throw it on the treadmill downstairs and get some skootchin' in!

hahaha sounds good buddy. And even if we don't get to ride, we should hit up that little $1-a-rib joint in Evergreen. My buddy took me there and the chili-cheese-fries, Wooly Booger beer and ribs hit the spot!

I typed in 'ribs in evergreen' and found it:

Stagecoach Ribs n' Shit!

Some of the reviews I read on there didn't sound too great, but the most recent one was 9 months ago. We went last week and it was pretty dope. They have a couple cute waitresses up in there and our food was dank.

check it out!

Rib Crib.

we got good sundays (all the games, lotsa tvs, a new digi projector upstairs) at the Woodcellar, usually the cougars are too hungover and don't come out in the daylight anyway. our food is pretty decent too.

Hoping for a "December to remember" but it's looking pretty sad so far. What is torquing me off this year is all of the surrounding states are getting blasted. I give it three more weeks, and then it's time to start using some serious vacation time. Probably need to consider moving too...

maybe we should all meet up in a parking lot somewhere, join in a big circle, hold hands and do some sort of funky snow dance to provoke the elements!

Thanks! If that doesn't work, i'll ask Mickey Mouse Santa Clause for some snow when I see him @ DisneyLand over xmas. I'll be in a wheelchair so I doubt he'll say no

damnit >_<

My toss: tails :thumbsdown:

good thing I have an epic pass

I gave up the I-70 headaches a few years back (used to get a pass every year for Summit) and now just go to Eldora, mostly. Yeah, small mountain and all that, but what the hell. If the conditions are going to suck, I may as well make the experience as hassle-free as possible.

I am itching like hell and haven't been up yet. Need some damn snow NOW!
