Big Snow, maybe

[Sawin]

There’s plenty of snow falling, but it’s all just running down the gutters... bah.

I was suppose to go to one of thorncreek/riverdale/legacy driving range today with my daughter.

I am just watching The Players' TPC Sawgrass (which I like better than US Open and Masters combined).

Lots of wiener comparing going on. Ya'll got nothing on 1913. https://www.outtherecolorado.com/new...6667b31f2.html

And even then, 1913 had nothing on 1899 Breckenridge: https://www.breckenridgeassociates.c...e-capsule.html

79 straight days of snow. No supplies or trains were able to make it in for something like two straight months. People didn't just dig out, they literally had tunnels coming out of some of the shops and homes. 40 foot drifts. And they still survived. Kids had fun. The hardiest Coloradoans would be the wildlife/livestock that "lived through it" not the warm and snuggly people.

I wasn't here until '84 but the storms in 1997 and 2003 were pretty intense as well. The bomb cyclone in March 2019 was pretty fun too-I had the older grandson at the Denver Museum and Science when they announced shortly before 10am the museum was closing. My son and his family live in Parker. My trusty old '03 Tahoe got us there pretty easily, sometimes I miss that vehicle.

1997 and 2003 was pretty intense. 2007? was crazy too.

1997 was fall, and 2003 was spring. I forgot 2007? season/month.

Yeah, the spring storm in 2003 had people using their kids' sleds to go grocery shopping at the King Soopers on Hampden/Monaco. Funny seeing people going down the middle of Hampden pulling the sleds.

1982 storm, I remember driving home in the snowstorm and thought I would wait till tomorrow to get beer.

Not a wise idea!

We had bought ourselves a Commodore 64 computer that Christmas and that helped pass the time for sure.

About 2" on top of the hot tub here in Foco

I heard stories that back in the 60's, it got so cold in GJ that the power lines started snapping, they hadn't anticipated that level of negative temperatures even being possible and didn't put enough static sag into the lines. That said, I wasn't alive, so I can't vouch for it, and the historical weather records I'm finding on a brief online search seem to start with the weather satellites (70's) so I don't know if it is in fact, true. I don't know anyone living there in the 60s to ask anymore, either.

By the numbers, in Denver at least, 2003 was bigger than '82. Parts of Aurora got 40" in 2003.
