nearly half my life.. 30 years at 8500 feet.. the last record high (before last year) on Christmas day was 28 degrees. on 12/25/2025 it was 54 degrees.
5 days at 50+degrees in December and no snow. What's even weirder is seeing above freezing temps at night.

Denver has felt more like Phoenix this winter.. gonna be 65 today! the most bizarre weather since I moved here in 1984.
