The Storm of the Century - Update

Tweet

Here in Manitou, we got lucky. The rest of the state got hammered. My Denver-area friends are posting backyard photos on Facebook, all of them showing patio furniture with what looks to be at least two feet-high mounds of snow on top. Denver International Airport had to cancel hundreds of flights. Vail Pass was closed on Friday night. The eastern plains got pummeled. Meanwhile, here in Manitou, it did snow from Friday night through all day yesterday. We, by looking at our complex mail box, got about three, maybe four inches. More importantly, it did not stick to the streets or sidewalks. They were wet the entire time, but they are dry now. It's not even worth taking a photo, because it would be disappointing compared to what I'm seeing from the rest of the state. In fact, I was just outside. What we did get is already starting to melt. It may have been The Storm of the Century for the rest of the state, but here, it was just another spring storm, and a bit anti-climactic.
