Not us this time

[RGINN]

Colorado is probably on the weather news today, but it's not us here west of the Divide. This was a Front Range storm. As you can see in the pics here in town, we could probably send a Cub Scout pack out with snow shovels to take care of that. Streets have melted off now. I70 was closed both ways from Silverthorne about 55 miles east, but has just now reopened. How that does affect us is we will lose a couple of million or more on revenue on the Western Slope. I would almost guess where I work we will lose 30-40 thousand in sales, but since we do have all the spring breakers trapped here, they may offset that. So maybe 10-20 thousand, IF we get our trucks out of Denver and have stuff on the shelves to sell.

Got to say it's beautiful though but I know it's a headache for y'all out there. My daughters in Denver. Said she wasn't going to get out in it. I hope not

Heavy wet stuff down here for sure. It was a real back braker clearing the drive. Good thing a guy in the neighborhood has a little atv with a blade to go scooting up and down the sidewalks. This kind of heavy moisture snow will certainly turn on the spring time, once the mile high sun comes out again. All the birds will definitely be singing when that happens. Some birds like the Flickers are out there singing through all this. I guess they understand what it all means.

She'll be ok GDub62. She's able to sit it out so it'll all be better over there in a couple of days, and no need to worry.

I talked to my friend in Conifer SW of Denver off 285 and this is his Toyota Pickup.

Yeah that's usually how we look, ToddsPoint. I was kinda happy with us lucking out, but I checked and none of our trucks made it last night, so that means when I go back tonight I'll have 8 or 9 trucks to deal with. (and maybe only 4 of us scheduled) Well, job security I guess.

Had to go over the mountain to Dolores to pick up a Taco.I was expecting a little more snow up there.

Cool pics cyzak. I think the southern mountains might be getting a little more snow than us up here.
