It’s been miserable here for the last few days
Monday night was THE WORST. Threatening clouds all around us.
The incredibly hot, dry wind, turned into the incredibly cold nasty wind; wind so hard it slammed into us
The bully wind making it next to impossible to stand on the ditch banks, let alone set flapping dams into the ditches.
The sunlight, meager at best (as you can see —sun obscured by dark threatening clouds)
Then the cold came in…close to freezing Monday night and the threat of colder weather to come.
(The high country got snow…as in Ouray, Grand Mesa…those areas.)
What odd, strange, unusual weather for June.

Sorry for the misery this brings your way. It has been a crazy spring for sure, Hope your weather normalizes and soon. We are getting strong rains today, okay I guess, and the boss doesn’t have any hay down. I sure hope it doesn’t get stuck in rain mode though. We’ve had enough of that in recent years. Stay strong.

Farming is always such a huge gamble, but, oh, how we do love to farm. I hope your rain comes at the right time and leaves in an appropriate manner! 🙂

Weird weather makes it hard to go out & do much. Terry perched percariously over the ditch is scary! Starting Sunday here – 70mph winds, snow and 29° by Tuesday morning. Mother Nature is making it challenging to farm and garden this year!
Enjoy the sunshine today!

We’ve had unusually hot weather for June. Perhaps you can send some of that cold weather this way, but we don’t want anything close to freezing!

yeah, i had to double-check yer dates, as yesterday (6/11) i had a pleasant (tho’, of course, tiring) bike ride to the pavement-end of Land’s End Road. however, i was out of town Thursday/Friday (dog-sitting for our son up in Steamboat!) and “betty” calls — Friday night saying that there were wind gusts up to 65 mph, felling a large old dead cottonwood in our front yard. i presume “your weather” is pretty similar to “ours” (e.g., the cold Monday — we considered a fire in our fireplace) — so you must-a had a bunch of wind Fri nite (and, alas, the wind didn’t really go away ’til yesterday, it seems) — we spent most of Sunday “cleaning up” the downed-tree-mess. unfortunately, my chainsaw started up right away and i was, as you’d imagine, “committed.”
my plan for today is to try to do NUTHIN’. well, maybe i’ll clean the truck …

It’s hot today…hot wind, 90 or so. We get all our storms over the top of the Uncompahgre through the Roubiox area. I think your storms come up from Moab…am I right?

a lot from the west. however, seems any dye-wreckshun can be a/the culprit/source. sometimes the wind will be from, say, Delta. sometimes up and over the Bookcliffs to the north. and, like you, we can see whatever weather is occurring on the Mesa. portends of whatever to come …

I agree. Terry and I were saying the wind usually leaves with the snow melts in the high country, but here we are with more wind…even again today.
