Snowmeggon 2 ?

[TRnCO]

when I left work yesterday I was told to plan a two hour late start. OK, so then I got a text at 10:17 last night, while I was sleeping, that called for a snow day.

Of course the last good snow we had they called for a late start, after I was already at work.

Apparently, it's the weatherman that's to blame.

Bust. Only got about a quarter-beagle's worth over here by Cherry Creek Reservoir.



Edit- Now, at 11:00, it is snowing heavier and looks like another inch or so has dropped. Might not be a bust afterall.

It appears that mother nature is making a mockery of our local weather forecasters. It seems the storm is not done with this part of the front range and is basically a blizzard going on now for the last couple of hours. Earlier I thought we were going to get off easy with just a couple inches and no drifts to contend with. NOPE, time to break out the snowblower, or will be soon enough.

Pulled my OnStar fuse. Onstar has been discontinued for a while now. Cold battery temps and trickle charger to keep low battery voltage from killing computer. Added yellow windshield wiper fluid (-20F), the blue stuff has been freezing up.
I miss the Florida swamp, the alligators and the gulls.

Longmont is between 1/2 to 3/4 cat now.

Hard to tell up this way with the wind, somewhere around 4-6in definitely not enough to call a snow day.

Not sure the total in Aurora at the office but there are definitely drifts that are two beagles high or more.

Got up at 4 AM, left for work at 5:30 AM, took twice as long as usual but still arrived on time to get on the road. Dispatch lady says that work is canceled for the day, she would have texted but she only found out at 4:30 AM. I told her that I didn’t leave the house until 5:30 AM. Oh well, life goes on.
On the bright side I only had to shovel the driveway twice!!

In north eastern denver we got a solid 10" so far and its still coming down pretty good. Enough that I had to a reason to wear my gaitors while shoveling the driveway and walkways of my house. Had to shovel out my chicken coup too. Its about 2 1/2 chickens deep....I also used the opportunity to test some gear, I setup my new big agnes copper spur hv ul2 tent in the backyard last night, and its got about a foot on it, with big snow drifts on the sides. Im gonna wait until the storm is done snowing then check the inside for any leaks or issues. From looking at it, its handling the snow load very well atm, I also used all the guy out points and its handling the odd 30 mph gusts very well also. Hopefully its dry inside, so then I have a new tent I can trust in incliment weather. Also while shoveling, was wearing my hill people gear windcheater, with the new coyote ruff i just got from HPG. And Im SUPER stoked on that ruff purchase, it really works well to preheat the air you breathe and to keep blowing snow out of your face and keeps your face very warm as well. I used the windcheater as a shell over my sitka kelvin lite down jacket and so far it seems to be a very good layering setup for low to moderate output levels in about 22 degree F weather with 10-20mph constant wind with the odd 30mph gusts...
