Summit County Citizens Voice

Monsoon moisture has arrived in Summit County

Wild daisies seem to reach up toward a building thundercloud in Frisco, Colorado.

SUMMIT COUNTY —I had a chance to lie down in the thick grass for this image, thinking to myself that this is what the world might look like to an ant. I’ve never been able to figure out if this species of daisy is truly a native to this area or if it’s an escaped garden perennial. I’m going to do a bit more research to try and learn the answer.

Cool off with a powder-day slideshow from A-Basin.

In the meantime, mid-summer thunderstorms and heat prevail in Summit County, so it’s might be a good time to cool off with some winter memories. I snapped a couple of decent pictures during one of the last powder days of the year at A-Basin and compiled them in a slide show. Weather experts are saying that the Pacific Ocean patterns this winter could favor north-central Colorado with snow once again, so we might be looking forward to more frequent powder scenes in the coming season.
