Okay, I'll step in for you Stormy. I judged last year in Denver. It was an outside show. when I arrived on Friday, there was a wet, heavy snaw falling. I expect it accumulated 3-5" overnight. The next morning the club members were out snow shoveling the grass in my ring (you HAD to see those pictures. What a hoot!). I began judging at 9am in a wool jacket & turtleneck. The sun came out and on the lunch break not only was the snow gone, but I had to walk back to the motel to change into something lighter and cooler or risk having a heat stroke. I spent about 12 years of my life growing up in Colorado and can assure you that the sun will always shine there at least SOME part of the day, 362 days of the year, and WHEN that sun comes out, you will be warm when you are in it. You may freeze to death when you get into a shadow, but the sun will be comfortable.

I can only repeat that as long as my daughter lived here in Longmont (20 minutes or so northwest of Denver), she never has been snowed in more than one day. That's all winter. It can be 33 one day, then 70 the next, she says. The first snows may be 3 or 4 inches, maybe even 5 in Denver, but melt by the next morning. The time to worry about snows in Denver area is in January. One time, the first year they moved here, 11 years ago, there was a snowstorm the 20th of September, 2 days after the kids started school. That was the last time there was snow that early. And there's no snow in Denver today, none on I-25 from Denver to Ft. Collins today. sigh Stormy In a message dated 10/11/05 1:59:04 PM, VPREZHMF@xxxxxxx writes: > Fox News had two National weather forecasters on.
