not to mention its going to be really cold (40-50 degrees F) in comparison to our usual temperature down here (70-80 degrees F)... our uniforms consist of board shorts and T-shirts! plus i heard theres a chance of a snowstorm on Saturday... i checked the weather channel, and it seems that the longer we're staying in CO, the colder its getting... i hate being cold, but i'm so excited! i've never seen snow the last time i saw snow i was 2 (so i obviously dont remember) and i've never seen real mountains! now hopefully i'll get better (somehow i got sick after UCF ) before we fly up. ^^;
I think that accuweather.com has a more accurate forcast for this part of the country. The temperature forcast is usually accurate, however, no one seems to be able to forcast when it will snow. Currently the forcast High for Friday will be 36 degrees. The lows will be in the 20's. Take a look at what they say the 'Real Feel' temp is going to be (their take on wind chill). I would not pay attention to the forcast until the day before you leave, it seems to change a lot from day to day. Just be sure and bring a lot of clothes that you can layer like a long sleeve T-shirt that you can wear under you team shirt and a sweat shirt and a coat.
