Early indications for this storm show widespread snowfall

accumulations of 10 to 20 inches possible... with localized

accumulations up to around two feet possible on east facing slopes

where the greatest upslope enhancement is expected.

I should have bought that snowblower when I had the chance...

there was 9" on the front range last night. I hear the this next one will be worse. quick, stock up on milk and bread!

^You guys have had more snow than us, so far! I haven't gotten to break out my used (new to me, used 1 season) snowblower yet.

I went to the store tonight! We were out of food and it seemed like a good time to go before the craziness that will be tomorrow night.

hey FLBuff! 4 days skiing already! arty-smiley-048:

actually, with the by week for the Broncos the icy ribbon of death was packed. but it sure beats raking pine needles!

the worst storm might have the roads closed for a day or two? I don't get it.

although I have gone looking for a shovel the day after a storm :smileyballs:

Wow- that was one of the fastest passing storms ever. The nastiness started maybe about 3:00 a.m., hit the peak at around 9:00 a.m., and nuw (12:00 noon) seems to pretty much be over- the sun is even peeking out now.

We had a storm in 2003 that closed down the town for three days...and I had no food to speak of in my apartment. We ended up venturing out to a truck stop to eat on day 2. It was not nice.

And I had to go shopping anyway, which was easier today with no snow to fight. Tomorrow will be people freaking out...I found that out the hard way on a storm last year. People buy out Albertson's like a hurricane is coming. We were out of TP.

what storm? weathers been beautiful around here. Though swine flu seems to have hit pretty hard. My family hasn't gotten, but we know several who have. Anyone else seeing it?

it's been pretty mild where I've seen it. but there are a few bad cases. I know of a case of hooves, a severe after effect. I'm looking for a keyboard with really large keys for that person.

We were out of TP.

that wouldn't do.

Ditto here. We've had 3 straight days in the mid-60's with sunshine. However that all ends today. It's supposed to start raining and get cold again. They are predicting that this weekend will be nice again...so hopefully I can get in some more golf.

My SIL said her sister's 3 kids have it. They live in Marblehead, MA. Seems to be more prevelant on the news these days around here.

We keep hearing reports of flu and they are saying in our state if you have the flu, it's swine flu. A couple of schools have closed for disinfection.

And the Winter Storm Watch is now a Winter Storm Warning...and Saturday it was in the 60s here, with yesterday being a balmy 50s. In fact, right now it's 46 and the sun isn't even up. That will all hit the fan around 9 tonight.

 

[cement]

my knee says it's coming!

 

[csb]

I'm hoping for three snow days in a row and then the weekend. It'd be a nice vacation.

 

[cement]

well, I-80 is closed. I hope you picked up some tp, csb!

 

[csb]

work isn't closed! They are waiting for it to get worse. Usually this means I came in for a couple of hours like a chump.

 

[cement]

hey, it could be worse! I get to go volunteer at the road closure gates if it gets any worse here!
