I can match you one for one here on the Colorado front range. We're experiencing the nicest fall & start to winter in memory. I shot sporting clays this past Monday in a tee shirt, it was sunny & broke the record temp at 76f. Christmas day is supposed to be close to 70 again & I'm going out to the range again on Friday after Christmas to enjoy another sunny 65f December day.

I'll take this anytime over the white Christmas deal.

Strange weather indeed. We have a 72 degree day today and Monday's high is predicted to be 29 degrees.

[Stan Hillis]

Yep, it was 78 here yesterday afternoon!

The bees were out buzzing us while we hunted during one of our hunts this week. Sheesh!!

I've lived here all my life and have never seen a warm dry fall & start to winter as we've had this year. Last week we broke record temps on three days including Christmas day. I & everyone else at the range were shooting in clothing more in-tune for April than the week of Christmas. We did have a slight dip in temps over the weekend, but we're going out to shoot again on New Year's Eve Day because it's supposed to be 65 & sunny again.

The range has been packed with shooters, and it's been a merry old time. The other side of the coin is the mountains are way behind in snowpack & the ski areas are hurting while the sporting clays range is probably having one of its best Decembers ever--Go Figure!
