In Grand Junction we're having an occasional inversion. Hot air on top trapping the cold air below. Sometimes it warmer at 8000-10000 feet on top of the Grand Mesa at the ski resort then here in the beautiful valley when this happens.

We haven't been above freezing since about 12/21/2012. It been anywhere from -1 to -14 when I leave the house in the morning. The hi's have been from 12 to 22 degrees above with a couple of 20's to mid 20's sprinkled in between.

Believe it or not for me and a few folks it can be a bit enjoyable especially when the sky is solid blue it doesn't feel bad. I'd say that 80% of the winters I've lived here since 1976 are magnificent. Man you wouldn't believe 35 degrees, no humidity, the sky clear as blue glass, it's a construction workers paradise with a flanneled shirt.

I can be skiing in 40 minutes if I wanted to. I like it.
