PAPER-LESS

While we aren’t exactly “paperless” in our office, we are definitely “paper-less” — using a lot less paper than we used to. We encourage our customers to communicate by email, and with online payments available, neither of us has to print out a piece of paper. We used to go through a ream of paper every week. Now, we barely use four reams per year. I like that. :)

BLINDED BY THE LIGHT

Winter road hazards are not restricted to snow and ice. Travelers on East-bound I-70 in the Floyd Hill area need to be aware of morning sun glare, which can be blinding.  According to CDOT:

From early November through early February, morning drivers can encounter a blinding sun glare as they head eastbound up Floyd Hill (mile 244 to 247 – east of Idaho Springs).  The glare occurs from approximately 7 a.m. until 8:30 a.m. However, it is especially severe between 7:30 a.m. and 8 a.m. The problem is created by the sun’s angle during the late fall and early winter, in combination with the hill and the highway’s configuration through the area.

COLD, AND A BIT MORE EARLY SNOW HEADED OUR WAY!

Our weather services are telling us to be prepared for some snow flurries, with an inch or two accumulating on unpaved surfaces, Wednesday night and Thursday. Temperatures are also expected to plunge into the single digits on Friday night.

Summer’s over folks – let’s break out that cold-weather gear and have a great winter!

MORE SNOW BLANKETS SUMMIT COUNTY!

Well, it was a month late, but March weather finally arrived! Yesterday we had a foot of snow in some areas, and this morning another few inches blankets Summit County. We’re thankful for the moisture!
