Looks like we may get hammered around denver this time. Anyone needing tires, I suggest doing it sooner than later. I know the shop I work at should have some open spots on the schedule the rest of the week.
How’s everyone’s preps coming? |

Food, water, blankets, full tanks of gas, and enough things to keep the wife and I entertained (books and puzzles duh) for the weekend.
Realistically things will be fine and we'll just sit on our asses and watch netflix/hulu all weekend anyways. |
|
I should buy more beer. Thanks for the reminder. Otherwise, I'm good to go.

I drive a snow plow for my town. I asked for time off a few weeks ago. Low and behold I leave tomorrow for a warmer climate. I'll be thinking of you all and hope it's not as bad as predicted.

Quoted: Shit man It looks like you are right in the meat of this bad boy. View Quote Truck gassed up. Fridge stocked. Booze - enough to take out a small frat. 2x Honda EU2000's, plus 15 gallons gas. I may get bored on Saturday, grab a couple shovels and my med bag, and go trolling in the truck looking for trouble (mainly people in it) |

I need to gas up Friday. Have a champion 2kw inverter on standby, decently stocked fridge and snow blower. Fixing snow blowers for people on the side right now as everyone let theirs sit with E10 fuel in them since last year. Even worked on one generator as well this am between all the tires and brake work that came in at work today.

It’s starting to rain and spit snow here in Golden right now. |

I need to make a lunchtime run to get Hot Pockets and more Mtn. Dew.
I live in Broomfield, so maybe the city will have a big book burning over the weekend and I can keep warm there. https://www.facebook.com/BroomfieldPublicLibrary/posts/3851899771566281 |

Just went to walmart for fun. Place was ransacked. Bread, frozen meals, most meat, and almost all the bottled water is gone. Saw a couple that was literally running around the store grabbing stuff off their list.
Scored myself a few packs of federal birdshot somehow too! |

I’ve dealt with that guy enough here. |

I made my grocery run last night. Bought about $40 worth of food, no more than normal.
I did do one "prepper" thing today. I added a plug to my blower motor on the furnace, so if I do lose main power I can unplug it from the house power, and plug it into my generator. |

I'm on call in Greeley. Good chance I'll be rolling down 34 in this mess.
Can't wait. Seriously. Love snow driving. |

Been coming down down heavily and steady in Loveland for a few hours. We'll see what the totals are in a few days I guess.

Not quite time for Donner Pass/Eat Eric Roberts (S Park reference).

Looks like it’s picked up some in Parker. Stopped by Murdoch’s and sportsmans mid day. No snow blowers left and people nearly fought over the last ones. No generators left

Looks like it’s finally came like a cheesy 70’s porno. Lil late but white stuff everywhere

Just went out on a drive. Made it about 200 yards from my house before I saw someone stuck in my neighborhood. Helped dig them out and drove straight home afterwards. Turns out the kid lives 2 houses away from me.

Southbound Interstate 25 is closed at Ridgegate (by the Lone Tree Cabela's)

18 inches on my back deck and still dumping in Golden. Yesterday this storm was looking like a nothingbuger, still not exactly "historical" but it's delivering.

Score! Our neighbor has a small front end loader which he used to clear a path to our driveway and out to the plowed main street! Offered him 50, but he refused it. It's good to be friends with your nieghbors!

Came outside this afternoon to a nice little surprise. The guy I helped dig out yesterday cleared my sidewalks and driveway for me. Caught him just as he was finishing up.
