Welcome to 2007 (again)  :)  So this isn't REALLY the beginning page but close enough ;)

 

January 5, 2007

Rain rain go away...come back another day!  Two wet days in a row.  I would rather be seeing two WHITE days
in a row!  Keep waiting for winter.  I am beginning to think that winter is not coming to Paducah...at least not this year.
Perhaps a bit longer.  :)  Plenty of winter left for a surprise or two.

Well 2007 is definitely here!  I would say this will be the best year ever...but I don't want to jinx it.  PLUS the last few years have been pretty incredible!  Just keeping moving forward and everything else will take care of itself.

Looks like our Winter Park was hit by an avalanche.  This is the road that Joey and I took to go snowmobiling. 

DENVER - A huge avalanche buried cars on a mountain pass Saturday on the main highway to one of the state's largest ski areas, shortly after crowds headed through on the way to the lifts, authorities said.

Seven people had been rescued and one was taken to a hospital, said Stacey Stegman, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Transportation.

"Our crews said it was the largest they have ever seen. It took three paths," Stegman said of the massive slide on U.S. 40 near 11,307-foot Berthoud Pass, about 50 miles west of Denver on the way to Winter Park Resort.

 

Details to be worked out...

HIGH IMPACT WEATHER EVENT LIKELY STARTING THIS WEEKEND

HEAVY RAIN?  SNOW AND ICE FOR SOME. 

An extended frozen precipitation event is possible in the mid to long term across portions of the Missouri and Ohio Valleys.  Still a lot of uncertainty but I believe there could be some significant icing and snow for some areas.  Looks like from next weekend into the following week would be the threat period.  Appears the main ice and snow threat will remain north of the Paducah Area.  Something to watch though. Stay tuned.

 


Some snow art :) that I made


 

Okay...I am supposed to pick a group of photos for this class I am taking on-line.  They have to be photos that were taken over the past few years and that I like.

So I picked these...
