I live in the foothills just above the city of denver.
- Down in the city, the temperatures are mild during the winter.
Sometimes it snows, but the crazy amount of snow that most people think about in Denver really only occurs in the higher elevations. I happen to live in the hills just above the city. It definitely gets colder here than it does in Denver and it stays chilly for a lot longer. During the winter months, I really have to cuddle my car. The car is about 10 years old and it really needs a good tune-up, shocks, and tires. I have to start the car early when it is cold so it has time to warm up. The car drives better when it has had time to warm up on a cold day. The temperatures this year have been very cold and we have already seen a couple of days when the temperature reached the freezing mark. On one of those days, I couldn’t get my car to start. I was supposed to be at work at the Denver marijuana dispensary at 9:00 a.m. I woke up in the morning with plenty of time to spare. I took a shower and had a healthy breakfast. I watched some videos on Tik Tok and then I got dressed and went outside to start my car. I turned the key over a couple of times and I didn’t get anything at all. I tried and tried, but the car would not start. I had to call the Denver marijuana dispensary and tell my boss that I was not going to be able to come to work.
