Hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. Can't think of a better way to spend the day than with family and friends, good food and great weather.

Steve slowly saddled Old Snort, and climbed aboard. Kinda stiff this morning. He pulled his hat down a little lower and pulled the wild rag up to cover his nose and mouth from the morning chill.
How many mornings had he done this over the years?

Temperature records may fall across Colorado Sunday and Monday, though more seasonal temperatures are expected by mid-week.
Sunday will be mostly dry with temperatures reaching the low to mid-70s. Monday will be more of the same as temperatures pick up a few degrees. Springfield will have a change to reach the low 80s – as much as 30 degrees above normal for this time of year. Gusty winds and low humidity will increase the first danger; however, a fire weather watch is not yet in effect.
