It basically never snow, rains or otherwise precipitates here. However right now we have a solid 6" of snow, no drifting, perfect snow. That is more snow than we have had combined in the last year. More snow in one shot than I have seen in several years. Of course its usually hard to tell how much snow fell since it usually blows away before it hits the ground.
It is still snowing heavy right now.
Anyone else getting snow?

Got a dusting North of Bennett, nothing from Bennett to DTC.

Usually it's the other way round. There's definitely 4+" of partly cloudy on the ground , it's tapered off to a very slow dusting coming down.

This.
Sun is shining in the Ranch . . . but looks like something blowing in from the north. We'll see what happens.

Same here. Just enough to give the ground some color. I thought this thread was facetious until I realized that someone actually had snow.
For a while the news was saying it was supposed to show Saturday and Sunday, but as usual, as the date drew closer that changed and no snow.

Crazy snow. Shoveled 6" this morning before leaving for work. The company truck couldn't get up on the county road from my drive, had to go fire up my diesel to get out and about.
It was weird last night coming in from the barn and the snow was falling straight down and piling up. Usually the snow falls sideways and the ground is bare.

About 4 inches at the house. Had to yank a dude out of the ditch on the way home this AM. He spun out dping a 180 right in front of me and went in, rear wheels off the ground.
Be careful out there.

High and dry here. Completely overcast.
I'm disappointed that we've had only one snow "event" here in the Springs this year and it was only ~3". No precipitation on the extended forecast.

In Littleton, not even enough to call a "dusting." Intermittently cloudy and sunny here.

Enough to keep me off roofs today. Doing a frozen boiler instead...

Anybody see the semi/semi accident on I25 near Windsor? News reporting one truck transporting ammo.
Looking forward to NOCO guys posting up some deals this weekend.

But, but - snow is a sure sign of climate change! Did I get that correct or has the phrase cycled back to "global warming"?

Saw plenty of flakes driving in today, but not much snow...

Wish we'd get some here. The storm a couple weeks ago gave us about 5", that's the most snow we've seen in this part of town since 2016.
Last Winter was freakishly dry and warm. OTOH we were moving to our new house then so it benefited us. We were able to plan things like our big self-moving day (Feb 11), the day the movers came for the furniture (Feb 13) and the day the safe was moved (Feb 16) all with no regard to the weather (all were nice, warm, clear days.)
But everything's bone dry. We need moisture, in some form. Wish we'd get a crazy huge blizzard!

I went past it this morning. one of the trailers had the rear trailer door and the icc bar and part of the trailer floor and the rear tandem completely sheared off and lying upside down in the middle of I-25. Two semi's involved and a car rearended a trailer. It was ugly.
Also HAZMAT team on scene due to fuel spill.

Don't know. I hope the new owners don't change the menu too much though.

Gonna have to fire up the backhoe tomorrow and plow out the road and gate so it starts melting. My 2wd company truck still cant get out onto the county road. Had to run the big diesel again today.

Ain't got sheeee-it here in Parker. Fine with me.
Sitting near I-70 & Pecos in Denver right now and the roads and sky are dry as a bone, prefer to keep it that way too.
The Westphalia is turning into the Last Stop. Drove past today and still not open. The Wondervu Cafe has been for sale for years. Marginal food and way over priced. The Coyote Tavern is still for sale if you want a money pit.

Holy crap.....the Wondervu Café. They used to have the best damn broccoli cheese soup on the planet I think. Dangerous corner there as I remember.

The Wondervu Cafe is good for what it is: middle of nowhere mountain mex. There are a few menu items I like a lot and get every time. The Mexican Creme Puff dessert is outrageously good IMHO. Its gotta be a million calories. [LOL]Definitely a shared desert.
I do like dem margs too....
