Sixty Degrees and Ice On Lake Loveland
Only in Colorado can you have a sixty degree day and enough ice on a lake to do some ice fishing. You can see out on the ice a couple of fisherman trying their luck. About five years ago in February I can remember a speed boat pulling a couple of skiers on a sixty degree day, but that was back when Al Gore was still preaching to us about global warming.
That is Longs Peak in the background, also known locally as the “twin peaks”.
Enjoy, spring is in the air.
Nothing beats a 60 degree day after a long winter….love the subject of this photo…

The weather in CO has been beautiful the last few days, hopefully I can get out and ride for a bit today. Great photo, love seeing those fourteeners.

Dear EGIB (Jeff):
Last night was the first time in months that the temperature stayed above freezing when the sun went down. It is well on the way to hitting 57º (American) today. I might roll the bike out into the driveway just to see how it looks. There is enough gravel and sand on the street to make turning a challenge. The snow in the garden is receding but it is still over 8 inches deep in most places.
Nice picture today.
Fondest regards,
