And it really is only about 20 degrees here in Denver, or will be by the time the game starts.

I was going to say that it really was 20 degrees by you.

It's currently 36, which is keeping the cold-ass rain from being snow. By 7pm when the game starts and the sun is down, it will be snowing and 20 degrees, I'm sure. This is a picture of the current conditions close to where I'll be.

Ivensco Field at Mile High is the "official" name but I still call it mile high. If my memory hasn't failed me coors field is a couple miles either north or south of mile high. Coors Field is downtown not too far from the amusement park. Watching a sunset over the Rocky Mountains at Coors Field was breathtaking.

Have a GREAT time, Mal!!

I'm soooo happy for you!!

Be careful driving though...

(not my home, BTW)

I-70 is closed from Denver to Kansas..

Got about one foot here.. VERY wet snow. Almost every tree has broken branches.

Right now it's 36.. but this is what's coming.

I watched some of that game, thanks to free NHL Center Ice.

That is one funky pre-game light show they have.

We only caught the very tail-end of the pregame as we were running a bit late.

We got there just in time for the national anthem.

they light up the ice with a projection of the American flag. My daughter was very impressed and she sang her heart out!!

There's just something really amazing about hearing the national anthem at a sporting event.
