Not Going Anywhere for a Bit

They say this will keep up for another 24 hours or so. I live in the nice little town of Golden, Colorado, just West of Denver. These pictures were taken from my back and front doors, respectively 2 hours ago. How's the snow coming up in your neck of the woods, mrnoodle?

Wow. Good shots.

Thanks!

Ah, so that's where the snow went.

We had another t-shirt-weather day up here in Michigan. thanks for keeping it all under control

(Actually, the guaranteed white Christmas is one of the really cool things about living in Michigan, feeling like I might get cheated this year.....)

Yeah, it was prolly photoshopped. :p

I gotta say, I hope we avoid the snow this year. Is it spring yet?

Great pics.

Case...you poor bastards are getting *bombed* out there. I hope you laid in plenty of whiskey and eggnog before it hit.

First one to say "White Christmas" to Case gets their face slapped, I'll bet.

if the UK had that much snow in a single season the entire country would come to a standstill.
im jealous; i like snow.

Actually, we are loving it. Getting snowed in is a great excuse to "work from home".

Spode, the liquor store is a block away. Dakota walked there last night and they were miraculously open. We are set now.

We managed to keep up with the shovelling, so now we have a sidwalk between 3 ft walls of snow. today we walked downtown (2 blocks) and had some nice hot coffee and hot chocolate. It was surreal, but very relaxing.

I wish I were that good with photoshop.

Elspode · 12-21-2006, 03:21 PM

So how much actual snow depth do you have, Case?

kerosene · 12-21-2006, 03:31 PM

Well, The National Weather Service which recorded 52 inches of snow west of Fort Collins, but that is north of us, where we lived 6 months ago. We are in Golden, now, which is West of Denver and got a bit more than Denver did. Denver got around 21-26 inches all over. I am really not sure what our number is because of the drifts caused by yesterday's winds. I am guessing close to 30 inches in Golden. We are almost in the mountains here, so we typically get more snow than Denver.

You have got to send some our way. All were getting today is rain rain rain.

Dammit. We bought the kidlet a sled for Christmas, but I am thinking it should have been a snorkle set instead.

Of course you are... snow is a myth meant to scare southerners. It works.
