No one is going to pay $3000, but they will pay an additional $83/month on a new 3-year contract with their carrier.

The Houston NWS AFD from last night is written so well, I literally just read it as a story to my kid.

8:35p: Sharp cold front pushing through Denver right now! Winds are cranking behind the front, with a 73 mph gust recorded in Akron.

Thisโ€™ll drop temps quickly over the next hour in Denver, watch out for the wind as well!

Plus thereโ€™s the jump in remote work in the last 5 years, which demands more dedicated office space in the house. Never in my life thought 4-bed would feel like โ€œbarely enoughโ€

A babyโ€™s ability to wake up from a deep sleep, scream absolute hatred for the world for 30 seconds, then go right back to sleep, is I think something we all naturally need in our lives but society has suppressed.

No snow in Denver until February. Calling it now.

My first winter in Colorado was 2019-2020, which was epic, and itโ€™s been a downhill slide since then.

Unseasonable warmth is forecast across a large portion of the Lower 48 this week. High temps will soar to 30-40 degrees above normal, with some areas as much as 50 degrees above normal. Dozens of daily temp records could be broken.

How warm will it be where you live this week? Check weather.gov.

Keep saying โ€œit feels like summerโ€ today. But really, itโ€™s what I WISH summer was like (70s). Rather than the new normal of 100.
