Here's a link to the LSRs (local storm reports) for Denver.
#7 on the list of heaviest snowstorms in Denver's weather history.
I love geeking out on this stuff.  |

Thanks for asking "D". I'm fine. I managed to finish getting dug out around 4:30 yesterday afternoon. My driveway was a solid 3 feet of snow. At 48 I can't be doing that kind of shoveling....hahahaha....took me all day in 1/2 hour increments. Today my lower back hurts...my arms hurt...my chest (muscles) hurt...and I made it into work. You can't have all of our snow...but you can certainly take a foot or two. _________________ TG2

Hey TGG, and Coloradoans et al;
We had your snow before you did... If I can "dig' it out I will post a shot of my car under 36" of the white stuff... I had to move it to clean it off... so, I took a picture of more snow than car.
Not complaining here, just the facts...
Hey Marine, Semper Fi! Do it with style... from an old Air Force boy...

HA! Frank....I like the way you casually used "36" inches for effect instead of saying "3 feet" like I did. I was only playing for sympathy....but apparently I'm not gonna get it here! hahahaha
I AM going to go buy a nice snowblower tho. shoveling SUCKS!  _________________ TG2

We gots plenty snow. Almost like when I was a kid growing up in Michigan. Danged fool that I was, I usta like the stuff!
My back hurts, my arms are okay. No pain in my chest muscles at all. I ain't got none.
I drove my wife to work this morning, then went and picked up my daughter and took her to work. We got near her parking lot and she said the guy stuck alongside the road was a coworker. We stopped and he said he was hopelessly stuck and had been for about a half hour. I stuck my foot under each tire and moved some snow and packed slush away from the tires, got in the car and messed around a bit and drove it out of the deep stuff and back into the traffic lane for him. I'm too old to push. Driving is much easier. |
