Holy Shite Denver is experiencing a hundred year blizzard

[malaise]

Look at snow - more snow in a day than is expected in the entire month of February. Six states are now under snow advisories.

Stay safe DUers!!

1. I just looked out the window ...

... and it is still snowing.

Must be about two-and-a-half feet on the ground ... at least.

[Aerows]

2. Brrr

Thank goodness I live in the south. I love snow, but that looks like much more than I can handle! Stay warm, everybody!

4. Well Midlands Texas is under snow and this is heading for six states including

Kentucky

[Marnie]

10. Midland, Texas

Unless you are referring to central Texas where it was in the 70's yesterda.

3. coming down Heavy for 24 hrs now

16 inch snow hats on all the cars out in front

last time something like this happened was back in 83--at least we still have power and the streets
were plowed--Hancock handled this pretty well

7. I grew up in the Sangre's

We used to routinely get 3, 4, or 5 feet of snow from the dreaded Albuquerque Lows. We always though Denverites were a little soft.

8. of course, mountains are supposed to get that much and more every winter

Telluride is even worse, most years, and Crested B.

Yep, we're pretty spoiled down here in upslope country. 4 out of 5 winters are not very bad at all.

Then this happens

[Demonaut]

5. sorry but its really not that bad, much worse about six years ago

I have a crappy nissan and I just went out to get milk...now the plains are worse but the city is taking this in stride

[malaise]

6. Tell Dianne Sawyer and ABC news

[Demonaut]

9. I like Dianne but they do love to sensationalize it

[malaise]

11. Yes indeed n/t

12. When I was a kid it snowed like this all the time here. (1955-1970)

we went all winter not seeing the pavement on the side streets. Yes we had temps in the 40's, 50' and 60's at times and we would sled on metal runner sleds in our t-shirts. Those days are gone. Winters here area fraction of what they used to be. I am amazed each year how many people think they don't need true snow tires and don't need to clear their windows to get around. If you're scared to dive in the snow stay the fuck home.
