StPatty – bummer about your power – is it back on yet? I saw a blurb somewhere yesterday about “8,200 Still Without Power”, but that was about it. I agree it’s odd that there hasn’t been more attention paid to the issue, and not just at InDenverTimes. I guess the road closings and mudslides are a bigger story.

Hope you’re back on.

I’m surprised there’s no story on the mass power outtages yet. It’s been 24 hours for me since I’ve had electricity, and Xcel themselves state on the phone recording when you call customer service that there are mass and widespread power outtages. I knew there was a reason our electric bills are so high, it’s so they can work hard to prevent situations like this and react quickly when emergencies do strike (end sarcasm).

He loves it. Don’t all dogs? He especially likes racing around in circles and then wiping out. Not the most graceful dog …

Tom,

How does your dog like this weather?

Thanks for the info, MaryMor, and I’d like to second that note of thanks.

Up here in Westminster, 4-5 inches of absolute slop from yesterday, and heavy rain all day. Starting to see some breaks in the clouds, though. Can’t wait to see what the lawns will look like come Tuesday or so!

Ditto – slop. Rained all day. Much of the snow literally washed away.

According to a friend at Smoky Hill & Chambers in Aurora, snow off & on all day – no rain. 12+ inches of snow. Wild.

Many thanks to the people that have contributed to this thread – it’s been very interesting.

North Park Hill 10:23am

Maxed out last night at about 3″ of heavy, wet snow. Shoveled by a friend who owes us a favor.

Currently raining steadily.

Amazing that there is such a huge difference between here & Boulder. Two degrees colder and we would have had at least two feet in my neighborhood by now.

Snowing hard, small flakes.

Shoveled 3 – 4 inches Friday 7 pm. Very heavy wet snow. No fun.
