We've had a dramatic weather change in the last few days. Over the weekend we were as warm as 52.5° F (11.4° C), but by Monday night we went down to -19.5° F (-28.6° C). That's a change of 72° F (40° C) in just a couple of days - more than some locations see in a year! That's what living at high altitude in the middle of a continent can be like.
Unfortunately it's hard to photograph temperature changes, so here are a couple of peaceful Skywatch photographs from our sleigh ride at Keystone on Sunday. There was lots of snow on the ground, but it was a beautiful day.
