Fiction

Not the updated and expanded one.

For what it's worth, King gets it totally wrong about the amount of snow Boulder, CO gets. He has it essentially snowed in completely for about three months straight in the middle of winter, which is totally laughable. Yeah, it snows, but usually about two days later the temperature is up to about 60 degrees and the snow is all gone. Even if a couple of feet of snow fall all at once, it will be gone within a week.

When I was living in Boulder, and my oldest was in morning kindergarten. Starting in January, on Fridays, we (meaning the moms and our kids who were in morning kindergarten at Table Mesa school) would meet up at a nearby park, after feeding our kids lunch. Starting in January, we had to cancel only twice because of weather. One day it had snowed on Wednesday and the ground was fairly wet, another time we agreed it was chillier than we cared to tolerate. So, snowed in for months at a time it definitely wasn't.

And I'm pretty sure he lived there for a year while writing The Shining.
