Welcome from snowy Colorado.
Denver and the region are getting the decade snow storm.
It started on Wed 12/20/06 about 5 am and is still snowing on Thursday morning.
I planned my vacation just goofing off around Denver for a week.
Little did I know that goofing off would mean literally working from inside home. Good I stopped off and picked up some essentials at the grocery store on Tuesday. You know those essentials to make Christmas cookies, extra flour, chocolate chips and nuts. Yum.
By 9 am yesterday we realized this was no storm to be reckoned with. We called Jamie, our daughter, to tell her to call in to work and let them know she would not make it. She just started a couple weeks ago, but this snow storm puts all loyalty aside. About that same time all the schools and business were closing – yes even the malls. A little later her work had also called to let her know that telemarketing was postponed for a day.
The streets had but a few cars and the snow plows stayed home as blowing snow doesn’t plow. A few venturesome neighbors were out during the day shoving and snow blowing snow in the wind. Stan said it was probably to get out the house as it sure wasn’t doing any good in the removal department. By late afternoon we couldn’t even look down that street the visibility was so low.
Well, we have our work cut out for us today. It is still snowing heavy flakes, but the wind has subsided. Stan will start the snow blower and work on the driveway. What about the apartment? We can’t even drive over there and Jamie said snow was building up around her door. She has a snow shovel, but it is inside the door. She’ll figure it out.
Stan turned on the Christmas tree lights outside just to add to the charm. The photo I took at the corner of the house is toward the five foot fence. It looks like at least 2 foot or maybe more fell during the night.
Merry Christmas.
