Cold, rainy, and dreary... something rarely seen in Colorado, but has definately been the norm this weekend. After several days of monsoon storms and flooding, a quieter weather pattern overtook the Denver area and left the southern part of the state in the severe stuff, including a pair of tornado warnings for the Pueblo County area on Friday and today. Some serious flash flooding occured in the Douglas County area as well claiming three homes near Westcreek over the weekend. Fortunately no one was injured in that.
I spent most of the weekend actually having a life; paired up on Rockies games and went and saw a movie with my lady and friends. Nice to get away from the weather even as it impacted the weekend plans. Chasing has definately come to a close as far as I can tell, leaving just the photojournalistic stuff behind which has been the rule with the last couple chasing logs. Late August begins the small window of chasing for the fall season in which things will close til the next Spring.
Many of my chasing friends have gone into bloglessness, and you'll probably see a decrease in posts on my end as well, but seeing as I do spend a lot of time during all seasons with the weather, you know you'll continue to see updates from me even through winter as I pray for a
March 2003 repeat!
So with that, I'm going to head off and enjoy an at-home movie. Tomorrow's slight risk in Kansas doesn't have me jumping into the van. I opted into a full day of work and don't think tomorrow's prospects warrent the trip out there. Especially after the week we've had. God knows we've needed the rain, and God also knows how happy I am to see highs in the 60s in July. I get one more cool day tomorrow before summer returns. I want to enjoy it!
