new pics from Colorado

[momophile]

We are in Arvada. Mr. momophile made it home last night after 6 and 1/2 hours, and he brought a coworker after the coworker had to ditch his own car. The commute is normally 1/2 hour. And Mr. momophile couldn't make it up our street so the car is at the bottom of the hill. The covered van out front is a neighbor who couldn't quite make it over the top.

1. What to call that at the top in the first pic...hmmm...

"Snowicle"?

[momophile]

2. My son lives up the street in Wheat Ridge

his boss told him he needs to get to work today. :rofl: From the pictures I guess his boss will be really mad when no one gets there.

[momophile]

6. yeah, he's not going to work today!

and bosses that think otherwise are jerks.

3. That's a lot of snow!

I grew up in Ohio, and miss the snow, but I don't think I want that much. I'm now in southern Louisiana and it's 67 outside. But in the summer I have to deal with the 100 degree days. Hope you say safe and warm!

4. Hey we've got more than enough snow to share!

:-)

[momophile]

5. isn't that the truth!

8. Send some down here to North Georgia.

We only get one or two snows a year and not much accumulates except in the mountains.

9. I am from Ohio, right near the lake...

You pictures look similar to what we usually get. Not this year.

Some of the trees here haven't even lost their leaves.



:crazy:

11. How much did you get all together

It looks like 32 inches of wet heavy snow, I hope people stay in it looks like a heart attack waiting to happen clearing it off.

[momophile]

14. hard to tell with the drifts but maybe two feet

there is a three foot drift in the back yard.

I watched as the neighbor shoveled his walkway just incase he fell over. My hubbie is working on the driveway in shifts. Definitely heart attack conditions.

12. I think I'll stay home today...

my little green car, what is still visible of it... :eyes:

[momophile]

13. looks like you don't have a choice

stay warm!

[some guy]

15. not much of one anyway...

I guess I could go out and either shovel all the snow off, or walk somewhere, though walking is arduous in this stuff; I did yesterday, when it was only about six inches... oy!

I think I'll wait till tomorrow - maybe the sun will come out and melt it all today :D :rofl:

I hope you and Mr momophile stay warm also.

:hi:

16. Wow - be careful, but have fun!

I've been in one of those... used to live about an hour west of DC on a mountain near the VA/WVa border... I'm from Palm Springs, and had never lived in snow before. Winter of 2002/2003 it started to snow one Thursday and didn't stop until Sunday. Heavy, consistent snow (though I know you guys in Co. got yours almost in one night).

Probably 3 feet of snow on the ground, all at once. Being rural, we didn't get out for 7 days, and only then when a bulldozer came through. Our driveway was so steep that the 'dozer started from top-down, and midway he was so heavy with snow he slid the rest of the way down the driveway, across the road, and down the other side.

What's your weather forecast?
