Just got the phone call to come in late today and plan to stay until tomorrow night or Sunday morning. It's like a sleepover for grown ups, not near as fun, although the OT is nice. 7-11" with gusting up to 31mph.

fucking snow on the weekends is bullshit. there should be a law against it. We get beautiful weather all week, 60's yesterday and then snow on the weekends so cannot go shooting. Even the skiers don't want snow on the weekend during the day. Nobody wants snow, lets ban it.
liberal conspiracy I say.
I'm flying out of DIA tomorrow at 6:30am... supposedly.... cross your fingers for me.

Few of us in Aurora are planning to hit up Starbucks at Smoky Hill and Himalaya at 9 tomorrow though. My explorer shouldn't have a problem getting there.

On plus side more cash for toys!
Figures. I get back from two cold, snowy weeks in Iowa and Nebraska only to come home to more cold and snow.
I really need o invest in a plow for one of the atv's.
I'm looking forward to some snow playin' in my truck tomorrow. The nice think about weekend storms is all the idiots stay inside.

The runways and taxiways will be in good condition, cause that's the way we roll. The airlines on the other hand...good luck.

maybe not ban it, BUT could they postpone it for about 3 weeks? I just got over $10,000 worth of lumber, trusses and steel delivered. I hate to have my pole barn laying there getting buried in snow and it will also create massive drifts on the backside of it. I have got to get this barn put up. Time for a Non Amish Amish style barn raising.

Might be better off finding some Amish....
After last summer's fire season, I love snow. I could care less if it snows on a Saturday or a Monday. Just bring it and bring it heavy!
On a side note, a builder we regularly work with dug a foundation during that cold spell in January. Said the ground dug like my daughter's sandbox. Not good news.

i dont think they could get here in time to get the barn up before the weather moves in. The trip by horse and buggy would take a while.

I'm a skier and I'll take the snow whenever I can get it. With the miserable snow season last year, I'll ski in zero light if it means little bit of new pow.

Yep. I'm waxing our snowboards right now to head out to Mary Jane on Sunday.
ETA: have room for two more if anyone wants to come along.

You get an ATTA Boy!! ^^^^ This. Living the hills has the fire danger that really SUCKS. After last year. We need it, all of us need it. Mountains, Plains, Foothills. Bring it on I say.
Plus I could use the down time getting snowed in to reload for a couple of day's straight. [Coffee]
God yes, a ton of snow, please. My entire yard was like a bed of concrete. I'd like to try and grow something besides bindweed this year.

My back yard was already a problem, but last year with having a second dog and no moisture even the weeds didn't grow back there. Now I just have a dirt/mud pit over 2/3 of it.

Snow, i doubt it. If so I have sweet sausage defrosting, will mix up some sauce mid morn brown the links, toss in sauce and simmer 3-4 hrs. THEN some angel hair GARLIC, Shallots and BAM supper is on the table.
While it's a simmerin turn the tumblers on and clean some brass.

Anyway, bring on the snow. The reason I was born in Colorado was for big snow storms. I think there should be one every weekend.

I just want to get a nice bike ride in. Love when it's snowing, but come on do that when I'm slaving away at my desk all week instead of taunting me with 60* weekdays.
It ain't gonna snow, hope I'm wrong though.

Only about an inch of anthropomorphic global climate change here so far. I hooked up the plow and took all the proper "pre-apocalyptic snowstorm" precautions...I've fitted the Corgi with snow-stilts, brought in firewood and have all the necessities for a nap or two in place.
Not it's time to sit and wait.
just a dusting so far down south in "the Rock"

Nothing over night, but it just started to send down some big flakes (albeit not very heavily) about 10 minutes ago. This is out by the COS Airport.
we are starting to get a dusting out east

Looks like the trees are going to catch hell-heavy and wet here.
3 to 4 inches in Broomfield and it just started picking up.

Since its snowing i'm working Overtime, getting that extra $$ for when its nice out!
I just got back from a little shoveling. Snow is heavy, not like the last storm. Trees haven't budded out so they're handling it OK.

We got nuthin. The sun is even coming out. [Mad]
Little snow out east (South Aurora/Centennial) not much yet, come on snow!

Let me get home from work, and then the snow can do whatever the hell it wants!!
Parents in Golden are getting hammered (they always do though) and up here it looks like a lot of snow, but it's hardly even sticking to the streets. [Mad]

a couple inches here, but its blowing. my barn is laying buried in snow.
We managed to fly out on time at 6:30... well we pulled away from the gate on time, but took 30min on the tarmac to de-ice before taking off. Fortunately, made most of that back up in the air.
50mph sustained winds out east its shaking the house heavy heavy snow tomorrows digouts gonna suck
What a let down, stopped snowing in Aurora, maybe 6 inches of snow total. Bummer.
we only got about 4 inches of very wet snow.
Crappy storm here as well

It was weak out here. No big deal driving to work this morning in Aurora, no problem coming home either. Tomorrow will be clear and sunny.

up here in the Pawnee we got...I have no idea how much snow. most places are bare ground, some places are 12-18 drifts. I would guess 4 inches of snow at the very most. We have plenty of wind right now though. Skies were clearing before sunset.

[Shake] Should'a washed the truck and left the windows down. That would have brought the snow. [Coffee]
About 18" up here. It snow almost all day.

no kidding- I was hoping for some to keep a controlled burn in check- had to do it manually... not even any wind to speak of here...

Damn....Last Saturday, we probably would have hit a foot of snow if the shit didnt melt as fast as it hit. Major bummer. Pulled all the sleds out. Tonight, we are getting a sparse trace of the snow.
