CO Blizzard 2006

what mall? I always liked that new one in lakewood/wheatridge just off of 70. Cool place to go when they got it all opened.
 
I have not seen this much snow since I was a kid. We still have 24 hours of snow to go and already just looking out my window I see at least 6 cars stuck. I will tak pictures
 
where in the hell are you? you pop in here, write one sentence and take off and leave everyone hanging...shame on you.

:)
 
Well the governor just declared a statewide disaster and activated the Colorado National Guard to assist with the roads.
I guess I should have gone shopping yesterday.
Even my dogs don't want to go outside.

Mall is closed we are having a Blizzard. I bet this is gonna be worse than our 2003 Blizzard. I am trying to find my USB chord for my camera.

National Guard is mobilized (Like Mtn Muscle said) but if they are the same as when I was in the guard not much they can do either. Maybe send a humvee too pick up people that need to get to the hospital. not much else. I think the the wreckers would get stuck leta alone deuce and a half if this keeps up untill tomorrow. My Tahoe went through it with ease today but if this kept up I doubt it. I am not taking any chances personally.
 
damm i live in ny and we have not had any snow yet at all which is really stange

Flights cancelled at DIA. Even the ground crews were getting stuck in the snow. I wonder if my buddy who is an airport manager is stuck out there?
So Far, I-76, I-70, and I-25 closed right now.
Drifting up close to the middle of my fence right now. Damnit I should go shovel the driveway once at least today.

I was born and raised in Upstate NY> We got the shaft with snow a lot too. Buffalo always got hit hard with he Lake effect snow ALL the time. And quite frankly I dont miss the cold. Its definately colder there and believe it or not it snows a hell of a lot more there. It really does not snow that much in the Denver Metro area as people think

good excersize in futility may make it easier for you tomorrow though
 
I would but I have to get them developed too. Dogs ate the cell phone and I lost my digi on the rig awhile ago. Hoping CO BMAN gets some put up.
Guess fedex won't be delivering my phone for a few more days.

If you were anything other than the hermit and loser I became over the last year or two it would be great cuddle weather.

Pics are coming sweet pea once I find my camera chord I just had it the other day!
 
it must really suck when it is so cold outside and you have to shovel your driveways to get out and the salt from the trucks can't be good for you cars...or does it not bother them at all? Stupid questions? lol we may get ice on our windshields from time to time and just that is a pain....I just couldn't do it.
 
Well, it is time for me to go so maybe I'll be able to see the pictures in the am.

chat later! I just have to fight the rain for my 3 mile ride home........

*hand out* Don't hate. :)

You adapt. Shoveling sucks but I have lived in an apartmnt the last two years since I sold my house. when it snows I park on a different level of my parking garage that snow can not get to but this time you should see the parking garage it too has many cars snowed in with drifts.
 
Oh yeah if you think that is not much snow let me say that was earlier today and this morning at 12:30 a.m. there was zero snow. I went to bed shortly thereafter and woke up did not think it was toos bad and this is about 2:30 MST today

It is not that bad Ksharp. Still about 20 degrees out but the wind makes it chilly. The drifting is going to be the big problem from this storm. The airport is shut down right now until tomorrow evening sometime.

I am going to head down to the corner store and get some foods.

Yeah, the airport is shut down till tomorrow night and I'm supposed to fly out of DIA Friday afternoon... I'm not looking forward to the craziness that will be at the airport that day.
 
Well it officially sucks out there. The blowing snow makes it almost impossible to see. I pulled two people out of the snow in about a 1/2 mile trip. and had to push a neighbor up his driveway. Took 4 low to get back into my garage.

I don't think I will be going out tonight.

Beefcake, the airport is going to suck. Glad I don't have to go.
 
lol...snow...good god. I hate snow. I'm going back to that cold weather? UGH
 
Now thats a good neighbor.

I remember when bros used to make good money during the winter by plowing parking lots under yearly contracts. Needless to say, thats a hard contract to sell for the past 15 years or so.
 
Hey Tboy how are things looking in your part of Denver?

My dogs legs are buried when they venture out back and some of the drifts are starting to work over the hoods of the cars on the street. Over a foot when I opened my garage door and it is on the leeward side of the house.

The wind is picking up here too.
 
Figures!! I can't ski yet.......it'd be some good POW out there....

Denver looks to be getting the brunt of the storm. The mountains didnt look too bad.

16-26" for the metro area and I think that is a conservative estimate. Some places have 20" already and the storm is getting worse.

I lied, 10-20 in the mountains too. That is for shit if you can't get there.

New storm heading in for the weekend too.

I guess I should have started my Christmas shopping earlier.

This would have been an insignificant snowfall in the 70's.

I've got a little more than a foot here....maybe 15" or so.

My four fountians by the front door are still plugging away.

Thanks for making me look. My sausages were starting to burn.

This is a big storm for these days. Growing up we had a condo in Eagle Vail and ski trips we would wake up just buried in snow, shovel our way out and hit the slopes. The downstairs hot tub was a nice respite at the end of the day. Wish we would have kept it. I would be living there now.

No it isn't. But this is a good chance to get some vouchers and comps.

My buddy is out there right now, worked all day and has to stay through the night and tomorrow at least. He says they are having a lot of trouble clearing snow because of the high winds blowing it right back.

I would call them before your flight, and call a hotel nearby to make a res, just in case. Probably won't get one but try.

I live 20 minutes away from DIA... A hotel won't be necessary, but I am hoping to get some vouchers, comps, whatever... I know my flight will at least be delayed. I'll be calling ahead of time for sure.

Yes. And if you give up your seat to someone. You can get upgraded on a later flight as well.
They are going to have a ton of people who missed flights trying to get home tomorrow and Friday and Sat.

Vail opened up some of their back bowls... Talk about wide open spaces, with powder up to your knees. If that isn't Heaven, I don't know what is. :p

ok, I'll stop now.

Come on over and play in the snow. I'll even buy the wings and beer afterwards...
 
I know this sounds mean, but better you than me..
I am in Mass and have not seen much snow at all this year..in fact it has been really nice out.. I am loving it!
I cannot drive in the snow, and I have a different car than I did last year so I have not driven in the snow with it (yet).
I really hope the most that we get this season is about 9 inches in total, that would be awesome...Guess we are suposed to get alot of rain or some thing for xmas (last weather report I heard was 1 day ago)...It all could change, however I hope not.

No worries Angel, I am glad we are getting snow. I love it. Most of the idiots are off the road. Literally. And it means that play time in Colorado has begun.
Just am glad I didnt have to go to the rig today, I bet those boys are stuck out there now.

When I moved here, boarding in the Rockies was like learning all over again, but you learn fast... When it takes 45 minutes to go down one run, you can't help but to learn quickly. And you don't have to hit the double-blacks to get a taste of some good powder. I've hit knee deep powder on the blues and even some of the greens, you just gotta know where to go. I'm in the mountains boarding just about every weekend, so I know all the fun spots.

must suck for drivers!
Some times if you go long periods without snow you actually dont mind it..The whole time I was in italy I bitched because I missed the snow. I ended up coming home on vacation in jan of 03 and it snowed like crazy..Hell I was soo happy that I actually went out and shoveled my parents driveway, and I loved every minute of it..Been here since 04 and now I have had my fill of snow!

I've been tempted, but never have. It is so funny going over mountain passes here, because all along the roads, there are backcountry skiiers/boarders hitchhiking from the bottom to get a ride back to the top for another run. People in trucks just let them climb in back and ride up to the top of the pass with them. I love it how cool people are about that stuff here. It is almost just expected.
 
Man i got lucky, I headed to DIA @ 4:30 AM yesterday, flight was a 7:30, was delayed an hour but made it off. That would have sucked donkey balls to be stuck @ DIA all night, and i heard some people were stuck on the runway for 5 hours! i would have gone berzeerk
 
Colorado made the news down here, I got to see how bad it was that you were talking about. Looks terribly cold and miserable.

It may be on the weekends but what about dealing with it all week long? That has to suck! My dad was in the service when I was younger (much) and we lived in South Dakota for a spell and I remember making snowmen and getting in trouble for sucking on the icicles that formed around the house. Now that I think about...eww yucky!

Wow!! I didn't realize you posted the pictures so I had to go back and find them.......Wow! That is really something. Like I said I remember snow a little from when I was a kid but only having fun. My mom being from down here told me a story of trying to run out to the mailbox barefoot and her (I am chuckling remembering the story) feet bout stuck to the concret, needless to say she had to of had raw feet for a while. We can do that here almost year round. :worried: I'll have to try and visit someplace on year when its snowing...I have to get a nice cabin because I doubt I'll be able to driving in it!!.
Hell, I have a 5 speed and I had the hardest time trying up in the mountians in Tennesee...I didn't want to burn up my brakes like so many others I had smelt coming down. :roadster:
 
Mid to Upper 80's here..

I went swimming last night after mowing the yard..
Had a few leaves from the trees actually on the ground even..

For real.

They are talking about snow as if it is a bad thing.

Obviously they've never been snowboarding.

I've only got to go once this year, hopefully I will be able to go more in Jan.

p.s. You got room for me?

I wish I could trade you our weather. I got a foot or so at my house saturday, and it's been in the 20's for the last couple of weeks.
 
It is just nasty raining today....still in short sleeves but not sure of temp. Most likely around 70. I hate it being THIS warm during holidays. The forcast states we might drop down to 30 for Christmas morning....I hope so because doesn't feel like Christmas with it this warm. If we do make it that low for Christmas I could almost bet by mid-day the sweaters come off and the short sleeves back on. Can't believe I haven't gotten sick yet.

It's addicting, I tell ya!!
