  • A Sunny Sunday

    Spring tends to come in fits and starts in Colorado, and this year has been no different. This weekend was one of the few truly nice weekends we’ve had so far, with both Saturday and Sunday in the 60s and sunny. The only negative is the wind, which was really only an issue on the…

  • Weekend update, mid-March edition

    We’re halfway through March, which in Colorado means we’re still alternating between snow and 60 degree days. This weekend was typical: a mix of cold and gray with warm, sunny, and cloudless.

  • Maybe Spring is Coming

    I spent most of last week in Michigan, doing some siting of wind turbines for a relatively large project that is developing quickly. We were fortunate and had excellent weather (but soggy unmaintained roads) when we were there. When we left the state a couple of days later though, it was cold and snow flurries…
