I'll admit, it's been hard to get excited about snow when it still seems like September outside, when the east coast is getting so pummeled that talk of weather seems insensitive, and when there's so much else to think about - events, growth, progress, change; yet when the forecast barrels down on us with something this big, the buzz finally spreads.
It was just 12 short months ago when I posted It's comin' right for us! (11/14/2011), excited for a new year, that was more of a bust than a boast like the years prior (some seasons we were posting as early as October 4th!). And here we are again, like Groundhog Day, with Craig's monoski loaded into his car for an adaptive training weekend in Breckenridge, telling me, "It's coming right for us!" Just in the nick of time.
The system looks like the 1500-mile stretch of Armageddon-like weather that's been hitting the east coast. Spreading from north of Calgary to the New Mexico border, this storm is so impressive the Weather Channel named it Brutus. And yea, it's comin' right for us with a Winter Weather Advisory from 6pm tonight to 6am Sunday, bringing 4 to 8 inches, 50mph wind gusts, and starting with snow above 9000ft tonight, then down to the valley floor after midnight. It may even be early, the headwinds just arrived.
So enjoy today's sunshine, it's hopefully the end of it. We say let the fun begin, it's time to praying for a deeper winter than last year, safe months on the slopes, and lots of smiles.
See you In the Deep! Bring it on!
