My bet is it will be a bust.  3 inches max in Fort Collins.  King Soopers is a madhouse, like it's the end of the world.

A few inches in the Springs.  They're calling for a foot, we might get the dreaded Albuquerque Low.  



The low pressure center was still in AZ the last I saw.

I was at Wal Mart at I25 and Harmony earlier, buying a small amount of groceries.  Crowd was about normal, but I did see one idiot with a shopping cart with 3 big cases of bottled water in it.  Some people....

About 10" in Bailey last time I looked. Park county is under an advisory with "travel by road difficult to impossible due to weather conditions." Tomorrow's commute should be interesting.

6-8" in Fruitopia.  D51 cancelled school.  Looks like I'll be staying home with kiddos to drag sleds around the streets behind the quads.  

SNOW DAY!

light snow, possibly 1/4" on the ground. Nothing special, yet.  If the wind shifts to an upslope, who knows. Really doesn't matter since we have no control over the weather.

About 4" to 6" with a lot of melt off already in the Fort.

I've got maybe 6 - 7" in Fountain.  It is still snowing here, too.  This is at roughly 1500.

Stuck at the TA Truck stop in Limon. All roads closed coming out of here. Looks like late afternoon before anything gets opened up.

I got 14-15 up on peak to peak hwy north of Blackhawk.


Roads are actually fine as the plows have been running since Sat night.


I say fine...just snowpacked. Driving a Jeep with good tires.

We wound up with 15-20" of wet, heavy snow here in the Springs.  Got maybe 18" at my place.

ATTN flatlanders: GTFO of the left hand lane!!!    I saw some moron in a Chrysler 300 going 5 mph while straddling the two inside lanes on Woodmen Road while driving home yesterday.  This was during afternoon rush hour traffic.  Sheesh.

We're well over a foot here, I'd say 12-15" on the ground.  Thank god for a good 4wd truck with good tires

Still snowing in Limon, hard to tell shown much snow has fallen because it's drifting real bad. If I were to take a guess I'd say 12"-14". There's a 3' drift in front of my truck that I'll have to shovel out when the roads open up.



The truck is full of fuel and I have a hotel room so I'm sitting pretty good.

This is the street next to the TA truck stop in Limon.



I-70 opened up west bound a couple of hours ago (chain law in effect). I'm sitting this one out until morning.

I ended up getting 20-21" at my place 4 miles east of Monument. It was a workout for my snowblower.

Don't get one of those tiny electric ones that you plug in.  Watched my neighbor try to use it on over a foot of snow.  I think he burned the motor out, it was by the trash a few days later.

My parents have an inexpensive Toro 2-stroke. No throttle control or anything and vibrates like crazy, but works pretty well. 3-4" with it is super fast, 6-8" isn't too bad, 12-18" is pushing it, but it has handled that amount of snow like a champ a few times now.

Got dusted with about 1" this morning while I was walking the dogs.  They LOVE the stuff.  Me, not so.

I have a Troy-Bilt 26" dual-stage gas snowblower. My father gave it to me 12 years ago when I moved to Boston while still in the USAF. I basically had it in storage for the first 7 years (I lived in apartments), but then used it when I lived in Chicago, and now Colorado. It works fine, especially for it being a gift I can't complain. If I were to buy my own now, I would get a larger one - 30+ inches. However, I have a fairly long and wide driveway. But like I said, it works fine, just takes more time due to needing more passes because of the 26" width. I would recommend a Troy-Bilt.
