Our mountains are now filled with snow, even though the streets look clear. Photo above is taken from our house looking east. Most of the state just got pounded with snow over the last 36 hours, especially in the Denver area where blizzard conditions produced up to 20 inches in some communities. Highways were closed, and the weather crawl on tv actually said: "Accident Alert: almost everywhere." We had quite a few accidents in our area as well, including an elderly couple who's car spun out on the slick roads and came to a halt partially dangling over a 50 foot drop-off. Too scared to get out even with the help of the rescue team, the car was successfully chained and pulled to safety, passengers still inside. Though we are used to snow and at times heavy snow, a severe storm can still wreak havoc.
We got to walk in our snow storm yesterday morning with the dogs. I should have taken pictures because they looked so funny with snow flakes sticking to them. At first Jim was calling them powdered sugar donuts, but by the end of the walk he said they looked more like snow-cones. They got quite a few looks, smiles and comments.
We will likely ski some this weekend and record the basketball games to watch later. Now that Duke is out, it's not so intense!
