whew!

i realize my definition of storms, precipitation and catastrophies pales compared to the weather many on this forum have.

but we're in the midst of a "blizzard", Thank God. so far we have about seven inches of snow. that's just a "sciff" in the opinion of many on this forum. the last storm of this "magnitude" was over a year ago. since then we've barely ACCUMULATED seven inches of water in any form.

damned glad to see it. i hope it shuts down the entire state. if we drain all the energy from this storm system it would do us all a favor. we would get the water we need and you folks could get some well-needed recuperation.

i'm gonna wait. i plowed the yard about an hour ago. when i was done it was drifting back in. i'm waiting for the opportunity to get the loader stuck. now THAT will be a storm.

i guess when they only come every few years you have something to celebrate.

and Dixie, if i'd have thought of it sooner i could have brought my shovel over to your house since i didn't have anything to do

We need more snow. A LOT more snow.

I was up to Silverthorn on 2/22-23. More or less bare rock and [dead] trees from Denver on west to up close to the tunnel. Not a lot to squawk about even at the tunnel. You're right BK, if a storm shut down the state, it would do more economic good than a few days of shutting down work and school would cost.

In March of 2003 if I hadn't kept going out to shovel and plow snow every couple of hours we'd have had to climb out of the house from the window. I miss that.
