Dang, Lee! Was there no snowmelt between the last storm and this one?

It looks like you still have power though -- glad of that.

Katherine poked her head in, if you didn't see her online. She said she made it safely to Denver, beat the blizzard.

Snowflake count here: six.  >:(  We're in the dang snow-shadow this time. Trade weather, Lee?

Thanks for letting me know, Mel!! I should have known I would hear here first!! Slept with my cell phone under my pillow!! It looked horrendous out there...looks like we ended up with about five feet total and it's blowing around.

The thing that really chilled me was that, when Ennis and I left the Buckhorn Exchange yesterday afternoon, it was RAINING! Then I knew it would be very slick as soon as the temp fell below freezing. I redlined it for home...though was tempted to stay in town as Ennis offered me shelter from the storm. But my men needed their SUV back to go skiing today. Gotta keep our priorities straight here!!

Laura, good to see you're staying away from the Denver airport!! You don't wanna go there!! But, when will you be back??

Glad to know Friend Katherine made it through OK! Yeehaw!  :D

Tell you what, that last storm, it looked kinda suspicious to this Easterner that the airport was closed for God-knows-how-long-was-it, but the roads to the ski slopes were open. ...  ;D

Lee, those pictures are always so amazing. I guess five feet of snow is a bit overdoing it, but the pictures are beautiful!

Yeah, I'm so glad she didn't get pitched off her horse and wish she'd never tried!!

But, meanwhile, IT'S STILL SNOWING!!!

(oops, I just realized I've been eating chocolate covered espresso beans. Me, a strict decaf person. Oops, we're in trouble now!! Deep trouble!!!)
