Big Snow, maybe

[HunterCO]

I bet everyone would shit them selves if they had to go through the blizzard of 82 that was a blizzard and a great time I might add.

Went through the '82 storm. Lots of shovel time involved digging out, but drove from Thornton to Glendale and back to bring my sister to family gathering. In a 76 chevy Malibu. Considered it an adventure.

Clean drawers then, yawning right now.

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

Last I heard this storm is supposed to be bigger and badder than that one.

Since I wasn?t here for that one I?m now thinking you guys that survived it are all a bunch of sallies and like to over exaggerate because it couldn?t have been too bad if this event is worse.

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).

Latest I see in the DP . . . sounds like it's delayed and maybe a bit scaled back. "It's still coming, though" apparently.

Update at 3:25 p.m.: Though Colorado’s highly anticipated snowstorm appeared calmer than expected Saturday afternoon, experts warn both intensity and accumulation will pick up in the evening hours.

Right now, the northern foothills and portions of the I-25 corridor in Larimer County are experiencing the most snow, said Zach Hiris, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Boulder. But after sunset, the temperature will drop and conditions will be more favorable for upslope snow across the entire region from Denver to Wyoming.

“As the winds blow east to west, you’ll have this gradual rising motion and that helps generate extra snow because you cool the air as it goes up and that also makes it a little bit more moist,” Hiris said. “Accumulations haven’t been all that impressive today, but the set up for tonight and tomorrow looks favorable for long duration heavy snow.”

Meteorologists still expect up to a foot-and-a-half of snowfall in Denver, up to two feet in Boulder, and more than that in the foothills by the end of the weekend.

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.

Trust me it was a beast as a 14 year old boy the snow was chest high I have pics it was no joke and yes we survived just fine because back then we were not pussies. It shut the entire city of denver down for over a week nobody could even think of driving. The pics I have would blow your mind the snow was over 3 feet deep in the street unless you had a monster truck or a snowmobile your ass was stuck. I never walked to school both ways uphill either so try another cliche.
