    Default Apocalyptic storm of the century?

    Watching the news last night and today you would think the zombies are coming. I did have to use 4 wheel drive this morning to get out of the driveway after the plow stacked up about 2 feet of snow in my driveway, but we only got 4" probably.

    Maybe 3 inches in my hood...locked the hubs before I got on the highway, because it was pure ice. No issues getting to work, other than watching a couple of people spin without hitting anything(mostly in 4wd SUVs, one Crown Vic taxi).

    I'm with you, OP. I was expecting at least a foot (and even that means nothing to me; call me when we get at least 30"), and when I looked out the window I just chuckled at our 3" shitstorm.

    It was funny watching the poor folks in cars try to get around this morning. The city has a little plow buggy thing that's stuck because they were trying to plow a sidewalk that the big plow buried.

    I hate the snow and cold and only live here because of my wife, but I do own a 4x4 for a reason. If we had gotten a real snow storm I would be out having fun right now.

    I'm getting tried of the weather reports on the news. Everything seems to be of biblical proportions anymore, they even said it was an epic all time snow in the ski areas at 18". Oh and my commute was pretty bad as I almost tripped over the dog heading to the kitchen.

    Some asswipe in front of us, in a 4runner, had no clue he could drop it in to 4X for getting up the hill. My area to ft fun was ice base and slushy, 8" here equal amount in the fort.

    About 10"-12" here.

    I went to Granby yesterday. Turns out CDOT was closing Berthoud Pass at 8:00pm. Had to cut the day short to make it past the gate, in Winterpark, on time. Lots of snow on the road and most people were driving reasonable.

    First snow trip in the new (to me) Cherokee. It did pretty well.

    Today has been .

    Eldora got 23" of new snow.

    We got about 4-5" up here in Evergreen... I shoveled the driveway this morning, didn't take that long... Not exactly what I would call an epic storm by any measure. Although my friends are non stop blabbing about how they're so excited to hit the slopes today. Everyone's acting like it's never snowed here before...
