View Full Version : November 2015 blizzard thread
Post pictures and depth reports here. Started snowing in Thornton about an hour ago.
It's been snowing here since 2 pm. There's only a couple of inches that have stuck around, but it appears that rain has taken the place of snow. It's creating a glaze, and my poor plum tree is weighed down. My camera is crappy at night shots.

We had the big storm you're getting in Colorado come through here last night.
The roads were a mess this morning. I was debating on whether or not I should chain up:

Oh Noes!!!!! The Snowpocalypse!!!!
Mostly just wet here. Not enough to fully cover the grass so far.

Looks like the predictions (from an hour ago) of 18" in Black Forest are now down to 5-8". Probably 3" on the ground now.
I do enjoy watching the weather girls give the forecast but it must be a guy behind the scene predicting how many inches we are going to get?

We have 14 penile inches in Johnstown... Err, that is.. At least it's wet.
No accumulation so far but I've buried 8" of " pole" if that counts for anything

Had to redo the ground rod at your house? That's only safe.
Only a 1/4-1/2" accumulation over here, but it's been putting down the heavy, wet stuff for a few hours now. Brought one of the cars into the garage and it looked like a snow cone.

Unlikely there's 2 inches on the ground here in Parker.
The wife's day shift coworkers are gonna feel stupid in the morning for sleeping at the hospital tonight.
Then again, it might be icy in the early morning.
Sure have been a lot of power dips tonight. The lights flick and the UPS' in my office keep kicking in.
About 3" and a light snow fall. It is 20˚ though.
Pretty sure it already passed through here. Only a dusting of snow but I'll probably have to chip a half inch of ice off the truck in the morning from the rain.

Same here. Our power keeps blinking for a second or so at a time. Maybe a couple of inches of wet, heavy slop on the ground.
We're also experiencing the power issues. Xcel seems to be in denial.

Borrrrrrrrring - just barely enough to make a mess.
Like half inch if that in Frederick.
Does remind me, was meaning to ask in tire thread. With some of my concern i was having on a good A/T for snow or more specifically ice. There was a lot of debate but I never see chains mentioned. Neither did I on another truck forum. Some said even 4x4 add weight.
But makes me wonder, to me it would seem chains would be easily removable and help a lot more with ice than any non studded tire. Was there some major drawback or they just dont actually do that much?

On the flats we have 14-16" depending on where measured. I've got both the Jeep and my 3/4 ton gmc stuck all ready. Drifts are anywhere between 3 and 5 feet tall. I think we ended up with the blizzard. We still have heavy snow and almost whiteout conditions with 40-50 mph winds. I've got pics but can't upload from my phone.
On a side note, I may have put a bit much wood on the fire. It's 86° inside and I'm thinking about opening some windows.

. Studded snows work better then anything. I'f found the best thing for driving or dealing with ice, is the driver.
AS for snow ? ? ? ? ? It's about 30 mph or NE wind, other than that , dry ground, still. The denver area doesn't look too good, road wise.
Roads between Broomfield and Boulder were barely even wet... My car was iced over a bit, but once scraped, I had an above-average drive time into work.
The wind is terrible here and I can't tell how much snow we have due to drifting. I have drifts of 3' to 4' but I'm not going out until the wind slows down.
no idea how many inches because it's all piled up in spots, and the wind is blowing something fierce out here. Still can't see any further than 200-300 yards.

3"-5" and still coming down near me on the south end of the metro area. Heading out soon to head downtown oh joy. My older son got stopped at Trinidad last night on his way to Raton for work as I-25 was closed. Waiting to hear if he was able to continue this morning.

I 70 still closed out this way. Drifts are 3-4 feet. Wind is crazy, still blowing everywhere.
The disadvantage of chains is you can only do 20-30 tops. Getting them and off isn't exactly easy or fast.
Metro area is fine.. minus the roads for the little bit of snow we got.. guess who didn't go to work last night.. that's right.. CDOT!

Probably a good 10" at my house in Parker, maybe more. Considering that I HATE snow and my 2wd Silverado needs tires in a bad way, that's an official shitload in my book.
So when the forecaster calls for 8-14" of snow in Denver I'm going to assume they mean South Denver/Parker/HumanAntFarm where they all live. I've got mostly dry sidewalks and roads at 88th/Wads.

Snow drifts in front of my house range from 4-12 inches or thereabouts.
As far as tires go, I like chains on icy or packed roads but good knobby AT tires for thick fresh snow. The fresh thick stuff needs deep biting power while the hard pack and ice need something to break into the surface.

The reports I heard said a strong wind will blow everything to the South, which is more or less what happened.
Meh. We got 7 or 8 inches in east Aurora. Yeah, it's a snow storm, no(newscasters), it's not the end of western civilization, and there is no need for 24 hours news broadcasts, interrupted by alert signals and banners crawling across the bottom of the screen.

I thought this thread would be about the new Star Craft LOTV by Blizzard :(
I suppose it's relative, but chains would seem like a huge pain to me. Colorado often has snow/melt/snow/melt cycles, unlike some place like MN where there's constantly snow on the ground. Taking them on and off all the time would seem to be more trouble than it's worth. Having decent tires/4x4 and throwing some sand bags in the back of a pickup or whatever and leaving them there all season sounds a lot easier.

Great tires for getting a lot of miles out of them. I wouldn't say they are the best things for the snow. I've been through about five sets of them over the last ten or twelve years.
Remember the news alerts are for the CA, MX and Syrian migrants that have never driven in snow.

Wife was a sweetheart and had brand new Duratracs installed on my Xterra while I'm away for training, so I'm ready for whatever mother nature throws my way. The way in which the tire shop treated her on the other hand SMH (shaking my head, I learned that on here).

This, slow going on hard pack or ice with chains.

Personally, I've only ever had to chain up with the big 40"+ storms to bust through the deep stuff when I had to shuttle folks (wife is a Nurse) or get the kids back from a stayover once. I keep them in the truck in winter just in case. Almost had to bust them out Elk hunting two years ago when a fellow hunter got seriously stuck, but we got him/us out without them.

Chains are nice to have already mounted on a vehicle that is purpose driven.
Chains got my sister-in-law over Berthoud Pass in a blizzard on tires so bald you wouldn't trust them in rain.

They're a great all around tire. I've never needed chains with those on the Tahoe. Granted, I'm not searching out the deep stuff, just getting around on the roads. I noticed the improved snow handling compared to the prior generation.

Since I have a no call off kinda no understanding for being late kinda job, I need to ensure I can get there. I'm only concerned about the 5% of the season when it's actually super icy, rest is gravy. Problem is my work commute is usually ~90miles round trip up/down I25 into Fort Collins or Denver.

Had some blasting winds early this morning, about 8am to noon. They caused a quick brown out which led to the weirdest thing ever...
The power flicked on on and off 2 or 3 times within 5 seconds, but then I only got power back to half the outlets/appliances in my house. And other appliances had reduced voltage. My electric stove burners would get warm, but never HOT. Never even managed to glow red. It took 15+ minutes just to fry an egg. That was a first for me. And my voltmeter is on the fritz so I couldn't even do some investigation.
Anyone let me know what it's doing along I25 ish in Denver? (more central the better) Supposed to be "trace" amounts but have 1-2 inches here in Frederick. Trying to figure out how early I have to get up, was already a 4am wakeup before snow... >.<

Not in the PWT. Get your forums straightened out.
9"+ standing, 12-15"+ smaller drifts.
It was nice to finally put the oem truck tires to use. In 4x was surprised they did so well getting going. Compared to the quality all season on my vw, was very appalled at stopping which wasnt a surprise.
Long trek to ft Collins was only 20mins slower. I think id be in trouble if forced into median or something but otherwise only problem would be an unforseen stop at 50mph. Caught me off guard, the first stop sign. Was slowed down to like 10 and that last bit of momentum did not want to stop. so abs did it's thing for like 20 feet, closer than I'd like to car ahead.
So confirmed i want to get my duratrac/ko2s, but at least it's not a emergency must have purchase and more of a convenience.

And we also used now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country (or party if you prefer) as a typing exercise.

The duratracs on the Xterra are loving this.
Duratracs are great, I put new ones on the 4Runner and the old ones on my F250, only a 50BMG to the block will stop me.

Couldn't see the snow for the tire smoke trying to get up my driveway with a slight incline... At least I have visual proof that the limited slip still works.
It sliding down the driveway 15 minutes later and hitting the trashcan while the majority of my neighbors where out shoveling / snow-blowing was the icing on the cake.

Today is the first day in 10 years that I wished I had a snow blower. I took the lazy way out and only shoveled my wife's half of the driveway.

I like to imagine that I do. It makes my captivity easier to deal with.

LOL at fitz19d's post but sighing at my own experience. Saturday, running around on the RWD car with Blizzaks, had nary a problem. Passed numerous cars and trucks that had collided, crashed, spun out, or gotten stuck and was able to maneuver as if the pavement were dry. Today, I pull out of the driveway in my Expedition in 4-High, notice the garage door wasn't closing properly (snow blew in and was jamming it up) so tried back in again to go clear the door -- Expedition slipped and I catch my mirror on the mailbox. Saw an SUV do a 180 into the median while southbound on Powers ... geez people, just take it slow and easy!
Just got done shoveling a foot of global warming off the driveway.
I think I'd rather watch a dancing monkey during the weather forecasts. At least I'd get something out of that time that someone regurgitates what some unreliable computer models spit out.

I had to go from Golden to Aurora and back this morning and I saw some seriously scary moves today.
I could not believe the spaces people were trying to fit into on the interstate.
Worst guy was someone in a white durango weaving in and out of traffic. I commented to my wife how so many folks were in a ditch and accident just due to bad luck and in some cases, minimal fault of their own, but this guy will get off free driving like it is a rally race or something.

Up early, cleaned the cars and headed to work. Little honda fit made it to the light rail station.
Train to Union, mall shuttle spinning along as usual, but I get there. Hour earlier than normal.
returning home;
Many allowed to go early by 3pm. I had to stay til 5.
Started to step off the lightrail at the station, missed/slipped and went right out the door like I was on a Slip and Slide. Face smacked into the handrail on the way out.
Icing a bruised elbow at the moment, we'll see how bad everything hurts in the morning. DOH! #@&$&*@$%!

Went to work on unplowed roads. Shoveled snow when I got there. Shoveled snow again after lunch. Drove home on much improved roads. Shoveled more snow when I got home.
F**k a bunch of snow.
