The "view" out the window
More wet than snow?
Get going early if your temperature is supposed to drop. What's freezing temps for you guys...around 22?
Well, I think I'm going to try and go home, there's roads closed everywhere and can't see anything out the window now except for white.
Wish me luck.

I won't owe the state this year and I'm getting a federal refund. I guess I can release the geishas and the emperor now.

Took about 3 times longer to get home than normal. Side roads were more like 4WD trails but the interstate wasn't too bad at the point I left. Still not great for driving. And of course you have the paranoid people in their little cars creeping along down the highway at 10 mph. Why the fuck were they even out on the roads? Most of the city was closed yesterday. I don't understand some people.
I guess on a stretch of I25 that runs south of Denver towards New Mexico got closed down and more than 80 cars got stranded out there for hours. They had to send school buses and the state patrol in 4WD vehicles to go rescue them. And some yahoo decided yesterday, in a blizzard where rescue personal are very busy, that it would be a good day to hike up a notoriously steep hiking trail yesterday down near Colorado Springs. Well, the retard got stuck up there and it took 18 fire and rescue personal to go and save him because it was so treacherous. Yeah, that's it, let's drag fire and rescue away from doing importnat things so they can go rescue your sorry ass. As president, I would make it perfectly legal to let idiots like that die. Survival of the fittest and all. Fucking moron.
Here's a few pix from the drive home. They don't do it justice because they are stills and don't capture the wind and it was way worse than what the pix make it look like
And after the storm it's hard to measure because of all the blowing (wind speeds topped 100 mph in some parts of the city, still more than 100,000 people without power and the electric company has no idea when power will be restored), but it looks like we ended up, at my place anyway, between 8 and 10 inches of snow. And there are drifts that are much deeper in spots. Not a huge storm by snowfall total, but that wind was howling all day yesterday. Still windy this morning too with another small round of snow expected, but nothing like yesterday. The blizzard closed the entire airport down completely, not sure I can remember that ever happening before the whole time I've lived here. Yesterday was truly rough sledding.

You know, looking at those pictures and reading what you said, I'm thinking living in the deep South really isn't all that bad.
