    Default Got Snow?

    What are you seeing in your area?

    It's coming down big time here, 17 inches so far. The national weather service upped their prediction to 21-33 inches in our area of NW Boulder County. The electricity went out at 6:15. No electricity, no water with the pump system. At least we have heat, and cell service with internet.

    I got the driveway plowed out this morning, but the state plows are barely keeping up.

    It's a tough time for hummingbirds and other birds. Lots of hummingbirds at the feeders this morning. Weird seeing them fly about in the snow.

    Barely an inch on the ground here, roads are just slushy. My boss still decided to "work from home" today SMH.

    4" or so in Castle Rock at my house. Not sticking to the roads though. My trees had to get shook off first thing this morning. They were close to breaking. Snow is letting up but I'm sure itll start back up later when the temps dip again.

    Just rain at mine too, Ray, but once I got within a mile of Boulder it started snowing. There is roughly 1" of slush on the handrails of the patio and anything elevated off the ground, but it's super soppy and melting for the most part. It has caused some power flickers in town though... but nothing more than just a flicker.

    Wicked hail at my house last night, got the last car in the garage just in time. Was pretty wet though so I don't think it would have done any damage anyways.

    Was outside in a t shirt shorts and muck boots taking a shower and digging waterways so it could all get away from the house. I now realize how shitty my builder did at grading. And I found it odd at the end of one gutter on the front of the house the water was just pouring out over the top. Seems I may be in need of a downspout right there.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    Don't you love that?
    Just wait until it settles. I havent even tried to landscape the front of mine because I know I will need more fill.

    We got some pretty hard rain last night, still nothing but rain and mud at my place.

    A couple inches of wet slushy snow in Black Forest. Made the dirt roads nice and messy. Had a showing for our house this morning and the agent cancelled because they "couldn't make it there" Lol. I'm guessing the buyers are probably more fair weather Californians and aren't going to like living on a dirt road in the winter.
