T Rowe Price has opened their second Briargate facility. There was a nice write up on this in today's paper, and since I drive by this facility almost daily, I thought I should mention one of the bright spots on the Colorado Springs economic horizon. They expect to add another 700 employees or so over the next several years (they have around 675 now). See T Rowe Price Careers web page for more info. Other financial services firms with a large presence here include Progressive Insurance and USAA Insurance. Progressive in particular has also grown their local presence a lot in the last few years.
I don't know about you, but -12 is a bit cold to me, and I was shocked to see that for the low this morning here. At our own house it was only 2 below zero at bed time, and 1.6 degrees at breakfast, but cold is cold! They actually closed school yesterday, not really over the snow (although there was a little), but because the wind chill was forecast below zero all day! Fortunately we don't have too many days like this, and while it will be colder than average for several days now, the sun is out and should be a little more comfortable without the wind.
