Oh my Heidi, let's hope Mother Nature isn't so spirited with this storm!
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
For the most part, I don't mind it. It is just that we missed trash pick-up last week and this storm hits again when we are due for trash pick-up. The recycling bin is getting full.Originally Posted by LuckyGirl

An update to the forcast....
2-5" of snow by this evening. 8-18" of snow by tomorrow morning, and "the snow just keeps on' comin'!" Total accumulations could (a) be around the same as last week, and (b) be measured in feet.
The grocery stores are expecting a boom day today (because apparently no one knew about the storm except me, Jana and Kim
), but the shelves are already about 1/2 empty because of delivery issues from the storm last week. I can attest to that - we were there last night and it's a pretty slim selection in some areas of the store.

Oh Heidi, do you guys have a generator?
We went to the store last night just to "make sure" and there's not much milk, bread, or produce. I also got the last of the hamburger!Originally Posted by valanhb

I just heard someone saying that when they were in the grocery store yesterday, they saw someone take a gallon of milk out of someone else's cart!
Is it snowing in Golden yet? It's been snowing in Lakewood for not quite an hour. Pretty good clip, too. It's already sticking in parts of the parking lot, but not on Wadsworth yet.
I hope you all stay safe, and warm!
You guys need to send it my way. We are just going to have rain the next few days. I want snow!
Isn't this weather though typical for CO?
I am in So. California too. It snowed here in January 1999. I wish it would snow again so I didn't have to go to work.. LOL The place I worked at in 1999 told me not to come in because of the snow.. People here do not know how to drive in the snow. LOL
Be safe! (and apparently, at the grocery store as well.....)Originally Posted by valanhb

I visited Denver twice over the past 3 years and just absolutely fell in love with it. I would move there in a heartbeat. Just not this week.
Hope you and your family stay all warm and snuggly the next few days....
I would say recently we only get one big snow every three years.
Heidi, it's been snowing a couple hours, but not sticking. But you can tell by the way it's falling that it means business. I'm having Gabe (DH) pick up our New Year's Eve champagne on his way home today. I'm pretty sure we won't be able to get anywhere on Saturday!

Um, no. It's really not typical at all, especially not twice in 8 days. Colorado, and especially east of the mountains (Denver included) generally has a very mild, temperate climate. The mountains get a lot of snow, but the weather usually comes over the mountains, which lifts the snow up and over Denver. These last two, and the big one in 2003, are coming up from the Gulf of Mexico, mixing with arctic air, and wrapping around from the east/northeast. This butts the storm up against the mountains so it settles in to the front range and eastern plains of Colorado. They are actually starting to call this type of system a Colorado Low (according to someone who just recently completed Air Force Meteorology school
I'll tell ya, dispite this type of storm, it would take a heck of a lot to drag me out of this state. I absolutely love it here!Originally Posted by Candlemaven

What isn't typical is the two storms in a small period. But we've always have had blizzards come in every 3-4 years. The mayors of Denver tend to be voted out after a bad one. Currigan, McNichols were both voted out after a bad storm. Pena got a lot of flack when he sent the trash trucks into the residential areas to pack the snow down and they ended up with ruts 1 1/2 feet deep.Originally Posted by valanhb

I have pictures of when I was small and we were playing in 2 feet of snow.
But I do love the weather here because we will warm up and all the snow will be gone.
Now that's what I'm talkin' about.
I was surprised when I went there and learned that Denver and the plains are not a constant "snowy tundra." And I love the idea of getting a ton of snow then having it melt away a day later! Best of both worlds!
Sending safety vibes, and pray you all get through the storm safe xx
