Lovely day in MileHigh. http://www.dickgilbert.com/CITYdenve...way-colfax.htm http://www.dickgilbert.com/CITYdenver-I70-chambers.htm http://www.dickgilbert.com/CITYdenver-I70-colorado.htm I was trying to get pics of the big snowplows in action for those of you who have never seen such a sight (me for one till five years ago) but many of the live cams here are just black or covered with snowflakes and ice so no views at all. Don't tell me about your rain. Rain I grew up with and drive great in. Not snowstorms. Plows, where are you? It looks like more is on the way -- the barometer has fallen even lower. My son got a good three inches last night by 9pm -- we got none down here. TuTu still in front of the heat register. MLB |

Always unpredictable. Now we are told Indian Summer will be here in a
few days with elevated temperatures. *I guess we needed this cold spell to make the leaves fall off the trees. MLB |

As for the leaves....where I live the trees are all bare and norror- movie ugly, but here in MileHigh I can look outside and there still are big trees full of leaves, not to mention the red colored big bushes (another mystery to yours truly!

When at another relative's house a block from here, over the years I have noticed several houses that have "doors to nowhere" at the upper back of the several-story home. That relative's house rear faces another group of homes on other side of an alley, their fronts face the next street. I never figured out what the "doors to nowhere" were for till just now. I am watching some dude vigorously shoveling snow off roof, which he got onto from one of these doors on the main house, of his smaller either carriage house or addition cottage in what would be his back yard. It is icy outside and I hope he doesn't slip off and fall. The really kinky part of this is that there is a strong wind *still* blowing snow from the north going on and my fuzzy opinion, right or wrong, is that what he is doing is like cleaning up your backyard when you go out in the hurricane's eye before the other side of the deadly doughnut hits. Like, wacko. He has not fallen yet whick leads me to believe maybe be has on shoes with cleats or similar. Or maybe he does this frequently.....who knows? IMHO probably used to have a porch or balcony there. (Or perhaps it really was a door into summer). MMLB |

MMLB I have heard that, in some northern climes where the snow regularly drifts above the first story, that some houses have an upstairs door for walking atop the snow drifts. The snow would have to develop quite a hard crust on top, however, before you could walk on it. Otherwise, you would simply find yourself at the bottom of a deep hole in the snowdrift. -- John F.

Every winter I see strange (to me) sights. I am looking at one right
now. When at another relative's house a block from here, over the years I have noticed several houses that have "doors to nowhere" at the upper back of the several-story home. Not sure where everybody is talking about, but these were common in merchants' houses in many parts of Europe. They'd use an upper floor as a store room and the door was for a small crane used to transfer stuff between there and the street. They became less common after the 18th century. ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === http://www.campin.me.uk ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts ****** I killfile Google posts - email me if you want to be whitelisted ****** |
