Whiteout in Colorado

When I went to bed at midnight there was not even one snowflake in the air. The entire day I was running around in my T-Shirt. The previous weekend was even better... sunshine and temperatures in the mid 70s (21+ C).
When the weather forecast issues a blizzard warning once again I didn't really take it seriously. Well the last blizzard warning on Monday just missed us by a few hundred miles and hit Wyoming instead. What can happen to us... in March, right?

Well the answer is simple... a foot of snow (30 cm) in less then six hours. Enough to shut down all highways around us and making the daily commute a nightmare for most of us. Working for a high tech company has definitely advantages... we could simple stay in and work from home instead... and missing out on the fun on the freeway. Oh well.

Interesting is that blizzard warning is still in effect till tomorrow... not speaking about the temperature drop to freezing 19 F (-7 C). Tomorrow's commute could be fun too!

And finally I saw some proper white outs... with so much snow in the air that you have difficulties to spot your neighbors house across the street!

This is Colorado, man! And I am sure that in 3 days we will have BBQ's on the porch again :-)
