Colorado, the center of the snow-uni-verse
A friend and climate scientist with access to cool reports shared this with me. I guess it is called a 500 hPa upper air plot, but to me it shows that we are at the center of something wild. I think these lines either represent sound waves from all of the great music being made in basements, on porches and in studios in Colorado or something related to why we got that mega dump of snow.
What a crazy storm. I want to thank all of our staff at Moxie for maneuvering through this storm and managing to keep the home fires burning. It's always an incredibly hard decision to make wether to close shop early and when to re-open during these weather events. Asking people to brave the roads to make food for what often is only a few customers is not an easy ask. A handful of our staff who live nearby and/or were equipped to make it to work came in and were able to serve all of you crazies who marched down the sloppy wet snow drenched streets. Thank you all! My wife donned her cross county skis as usual and cruised the neighborhood. I intentionally got "stuck" in Winter Park with the boys and some friends and enjoyed a few days of deep pow while the avalanche mitigation happened on Berthoud Pass.
All of the frenzied planting on local farms paid off big with all of this moisture. Rumor has it that much of the typical irrigation water won't flow until May this year with the severe drought conditions, so this snow is a huge boost.
Ok- enough on snowmageddon. Let's talk about food! Our crew has lined up a stellar menu for Wednesday, and....we also landed a whole pallet of Jones Organic Farm potatoes to sell at a smoking price. We LOVE these guys, Sarah and Michael Jones and can't wait to spread the potato love with y'all. We'll be selling these local organic potatoes for $1/lb. Grab a whole 50 lb case if you want! Also happy to share this deal with restaurants for 75 cents a lb. What? That's a steal!!! Yep...
