    Ouch, good luck with recovery

    I saw online that highest reported totals were in Coal Creek Canyon, coming in with a whopping 51"

    As far as my own mishaps.... I went backcountry skiing up on Cameron Pass, west of Ft. Collins to catch some fresh powder. Got caught in a whiteout coming down off the summit and this happened...





    Luckily, the 2 humans and 1 dog were all uninjured and even the Wrangler (not mine!) is unscathed aside from a demolished side mirror. The expensive touring skis that were in the roof rack... different story entirely

    I hope you didn't take offense, I just had too. We have all done stupid stuff. I hope you recover quickly.

    Looks like this was an exciting storm for a lot of members. Hope everyone gets back to normal asap.

    Yup, up here we call that a dusting.
    If Denver got what we got in Coal Creek, they would be shut down for a week.

    Asmo, heal quickly.

    We lost power for 40 hours last storm, just two 2 hour failures this time. At least 2.5 feet outside Boulder.

    If they say there is a big storm coming and I can comfortably wear my flip flops the day before, its going to be a good one...

    Yup.

    My main grip about them last time was not that the power went out- I understand such things happen in big storms, but that they could not not even attempt to give me a forecast on restoration. If its going to be 6 hours, we will wait it out. if its going to be 2 days, I will take alternative actions.

    I bought a 7KW Honda Inverter home from work last Friday, but did not need it.
