Hey Colorado...are you snowed in?
Sitting there drinking coffe warm and cozy 'cause you can't go to work or school because of that big blizzard. Amazing storm with 18" inches. Is it still snowing?

1. Denver Pouring Snow Now, But
they say we will only get 1-3 inches. So far in my hood, we have 3 inches and it's still coming down hard. No school closings here.

3. I hope we get 3 feet of snow at one time at some point...
...this winter in Oklahoma City. Damn. I miss that happening. It happened when I was kid several times, and it was so fun.
Enjoy it, Colorado!

6. Everywhere isn't...
I am.

The weather they predicted hit this morning and I've got 3 ft. drifts in my front yard and this time it's a wet snow -- or it started out that way -- and I've got broken branches out back. And it's still snowing.

Courts are closed. City buses aren't running. City offices are closed. Schools are closed. The highways are closed from the north end of town to Castle Rock (halfway to Denver). The malls are closed.

That's the kicker. The malls closed.

I've got a fire going in the fireplace and I'm making chili and cornbread for dinner. Just made some hot chocolate and peanut butter cookies and I'm going to sit down with the kids and eat some popcorn and watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

If you go to their main page, they've got a link to weather video, but it's from 7:30 this morning. These pictures are, too:

Peanut butter cookies and hot chocolate? Sigh...

Sounds like you're making the best out of a bad situation. :)

11. By tomorrow?
Probably be fine. Flights were 'delayed' earlier...at least that's what the news said. My guess is 'canceled', but it could've been whiteout up at this end of town (and it was) and not as bad out there.

:shrug:

It's supposed to hit mid-fifties tomorrow, though.

9. not that bad in Arvada
only a few inches, it has stopped snowing, and the forecast for tomorrow is in the mid 50s.

Interstate 70 is another story - closed, I believe.
