Denver is set for another major winter storm. We expect another foot plus of snow. Two major storms within 7 days is almost unprecedented. We are still trying to shovel out from the last one. Pot holes now mean bare pavement where the ice has worn off the street; not a hole in the pavement.



In the 30 plus years we have lived here the Neighborhood once paid to have a contractor plow and the city did it once last week. We have some idiot neighbors that are throwing the shoveled snow into the street. They don't get that this is not a normal 2 day melt out. Our normal snows are like a September 2" shower in the Midwest -- gone in



2 days except for the shadows on the north side of buildings. This is deja-vu of Chicago winters I thought we had left behind.

Good luck in 2 days in St Louis... Although they say this one is going to stall here - part of the reason we will get so much. Then the second day we get more snow with 20 - 50 mile an hour winds to help distribute it appropriately. <Grin> The tallest drifts across the widest part of the drive and against front doors.

Susan,

How 'bout some pictures on ABPO. We're wondering what the white stuff looks like. John must have some neat ones.

Bob St. Paul, MN Expecting rain and 40's today, Friday, Saturday, chance of white on Sunday

I tried last time to get him out with the camera and he would not go. I will try again. Daughter in North Denver says she has 1 inch. We have rain/snow mix right now <skateing rink here we come>. On the other hand each drop of rain would have made how many snow flakes. As long as it stays warmer we are better off in the long run. Eventually this all has to go.

I just want my Christmas Eve dinner before the kids have to fly east to go back to work. SuE

I'm into my 30th year living in the Adirondacks. This was the first green Christmas I have seen here. One other Christmas there was barely enough snow to cover the grass. This year you had to look to find little patches of snow. Normally by Christmas, there are snowmobiles zipping up and down the lake. This year there were groups of Canada Geese floating by with not a trace of ice. We have a little snow now and a little ice on part of the lake. One thing I have noticed over the years.... if the west is having a warm spell, we are probably colder than normal. If the west is really cold, it's nice and warm in the east. Some time next month, we'll probably be buried and you will be all melted.

Steve ... who's only contact with a snow shovel this season was to carry it from the garage and place it near the front door, just in case.

Stay warm Sue, I often wonder about people that are snowed in, as far as grocery shopping etc. Must be very organized & prepared as we go about every other day!!! Just remember though we get our water from the Rockies so let it snow, let it snow!
