I'm reading stories of roads impassbile (still), people getting stuck in airports for 5 days, stores still closed...
I thought Denver was a city that got a lot of snow. Here in southern New England, we consider ourselves to be relative lightweights in the snowfall department (compared to, say, Buffalo or Maine) and we occasionally get a big one (in 1978, for example, there was 50 inches of snow and 10 foot drifts). In 2005 (our last "blizzard" as it is defined by the weather service, heavy snow alone doesn't constitute a blizzard) we got 22 inches of snow with drifts up to around four feet. The city of Providence was cleared out by the late afternoon of the next day.
What's wrong with Denver?
