Photo TR- Colorado Blizzard

[ScOtT k]

I wake up this morning at about 6, and learn that I don't have to go to work because there was a blizzard moving into denver.

 

 

At about 9:00 A.M. there was 8 inches on the ground.

 

 

By lunchtime there was a foot and a half of snow on the street.

 

 

2 feet of snow at 3:00 p.m (this photo doesn't do the amount of snow justice)

 

 

 

By 7:00 p.m, the snow was up to my knees.

 

 

After dinner I come back out and find another 2 inches where I had just shovelled.

 

 

When I get inside, I get an early christmas present. A 2003 Silver Oak.

 

 

I warm up by the fire after shovelling.

 

Anyhow, it looks like it will continue to snow for a day or two - we are expecting 34 inches by the end of the storm.

[major bummer]

I HATE SNOW AND THE COLD

socal is good

no snow

[weeow]

That snow looks so fun!

[Homer]

Lucky you, having a white christmas..

 

If you can tolerate driving right now, anybody mind snapping a shot of Lakeside or SFEG in snow?

 

Sorry to rub this in your face, but, 80 degree Christmas' are always fun too .

Could you lend me a few inches of snow? (A) We have almost no snow at all here in Sweden =( And I totally love snow!

[Sir Clinksalot]

Awesome!!!

 

I was supposed to be in Denver this week for work, glad it got cancelled.

One of my main insureds in Denver International Airport. I can hardly wait to hear about all the claims....

 

The main offices there, bailed out around 9AM yesterday. They don't typically do that unless it's really bad.

I'd rather have a blizzard then it rain for 4 days straight while remaining at a steady 34 degrees.

 

Where is my snow?!?

Nope - all highways are closed - most avenues are impossible to get on. The trains are all closed as well. Besides, amusement parks aren't that exciting in the snow.

 

And no, an 80 degree christmas would suck. Seriously.

I tell ya, we texans would love some of that white stuff for the holidays, why do you coloradoans always have to be so stuck up and keep it for yourselves

 

Naw, I kid...If we had that type of snow fall here, people would draw the shades and commit mass suicide

I live in Greeley, Northern Colorado. This is record for this town, and the state. Right now, there is a good 3 feet of snow on the ground. I'm suck inside. The streets aren't plowed, we can't open doors and windows. I'm starting to get cabin fever.

 

My boss called me today, saying that I don't have to come into work, the city is closed.

 

I'll get some pictures up soon.

I live down in New Mexico and we got this storm eariler in the week. Dropped a ton of snow on us out here.

[Rider117]

In New Jersey, we haven't seen any snow yet this year. Boo...

Horribly incorrect. Its cold and rainy in Upper Ohio - wish it would just get done with being mild and SNOW already.

 

I have some sledding to do (the motorized version). And some skiing. Rain sucks. So does 80 in December. Why do the same things I can do in the summer in the winter? By winter Im sick of summer. Sweating my balls off at work (both jobs) and ready to be comfortable.

[Masked_Maverick]

I hate too much snow and I live in the Snow Belt it still sucks though we are not having a White Christmas. Sorry to hear about Colorado getting hit so bad.

It's gonna rain all weekend here and I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of accidents because these people fly down these highways regardless of the condition of the roads. But it's better than snow; I've put my 30 years of snow-filled winters and I don't want to see another flake again!

Denver SUCKS! I really do not think they know anything about plowing. Weeks later alot of the roads here are still screwed up, not to mention the crater sized potholes that are on every single damn street now!

 

It really surprised me to see a city like Denver do such a crappy job clearing the roads.

That's a dang lot of snow. I wish it would snow where I live!
