Denver Weather

[auld argonian]

Hope all our members in the Denver area and out West there are making it through the severe weather that they're getting. Sounds like a Winter Wonderland but that's not necessarily a good thing when getting around is impossible. We get these situations here in Chicago once in a while and I know that it's no picnic.

Still, I expect that the Kilted are a hardy breed and will survive any adversity.

Best

Indeed. Just remember to keep the snow from under the kilt. :eek:

Stay warm guys.

Just remember that when the wind blows north to walk south! Keep warm guys and gals!

well, the snow is starting to taper off here in sedalia colorado. we have seen bule sky !! I live at about 7500 feet southwest of sedalia (16-20 miles south of Denver city center) we have about 40 or more inches of snow. it will take a few hours to plow out. All in all we are well. The natives are getting restless tho. so the clean up starts in earnest. How about g-man, livingston, mudd, and you other coloradoans? peace ,Corbin

I'm fine.

With the drifts and all my front door was covered with snow, except the top third. Even with a covered front porch. I have good neighbors that dug me out.

Blue skies are smiling on me, nothing but blue skies.

I must admit it is one beautiful sight. I wouldn't really want to move anywhere else!

Just shows you how the different areas cope with the snow. That much would probably shut down the DC area for a week.

I just got finished shoveling off my drive. The snow was up to my crotch. A little high for a Kilt, I think. :eek:

Yesterday was eventful. I got stuck in the snow at the bottom of an up-hill off-ramp on I 25. My boss actually came by and pulled me out with his 4x4. (We were on live TV)

Got home OK, but I had to leave the car out in front of the house because I couldn’t get up the drive. I needed to get it out of the snow and into the garage today because we are leaving on vacation tomorrow morning. (I hope) Heading West on I 70. I hope they have the passes clear by then.

My back is pretty sore.

I ended up working from home most of yesterday and all of today. Only had about 18 inches in most of the drive but snowblower wouldn't handle it. Parts were about 24-30 inches All done by hand and took about 4 hours. They had to go down the street and dig out my wife's car, she couldn't make it all the way up the hill yesterday morning. All in all, not that bad of a storm. I remember 6 feet of hail one summer.

We were up in Estes Park last weekend for my Dad's 80th and shoveled his drive on Monday. I'll have pics later to post of the snowshoe trek in Rocky Mountain National Park.

Ah, the worst that's happened to me is a late fee on my credit card because I couldn't put money into my bank yesterday to make the payment. Oh, well, life goes on. Here's a pic of how deep some of the drifts have become out here in Aurora. Boy, when you put the wind with that much snow it can do some amazing things. The top of the fence under the street sign is about ten feet high!

Late fees. If this is your first late fee, call the credit card company and explain what happened, they usually will waive it. I have done it several times. Tell them you tried to get to the bank, but the snow and wind kept getting up your kilt. The credit card person will be either laughing or thinking about that and waive your fee!


DALE.
