Hey, After about 2 or more months of summer weather, it's finally dumping in Ft. Collins. Finally!! We desperately need this moisture.

Good thing I went 4-wheeling yesterday.

I think I heard on the news that Denver got about 9" of snow this winter, when normally it is around 36" or higher average.

Hopefully, it will get Denver in a little bit if the storm keeps going south. Its really dumping up here although I don't know how long it will last.

I'm happy to see it, except.... the electricity has gone on and off about a dozen times since dinnertime.

The girls are all manned with flashlights, just waiting. Only sucky thing-- I have to go throw papers at 1 am.

That sucks! Maybe it won't be too cold or snowy out in the morning where you are.

It's almost in inch here and still coming strong.

We're still getting it pretty good, too. About an inch so far.

Looks like I'll be plowing fresh tracks on our streets with the minivan tonight/tomorrow. LOL It's actually sticking to the streets, imagaine that!

We had nearly 6" in the foothills down in Littleton! Keep it coming, Mother Nature! I guess it's going to clear out for the next several days, then we have another chance later in the week. I hope that pans out - we need it!

yeah I woke up to about 3-4"... not bad, not as much as I was hoping for. Of course I managed to be the only one on time to work (despite the fact that I drive about 3-5 times further then everyone else I'm the only one that can ever make it on time). Hopefully we'll get more!!

Well hopefully this will help. We got about 3.5" up here. If only it would snow then melt, then snow, then melt, maybe we won't be that bad off for the summer.
