I live 60 miles north of Denver and we got hit pretty bad. 18 to 25 inches of snow measured around town, with drifts up to 8 feet. It's pretty dang cool!!!!!!!!

At my house we got about 2 and a half feet of snow. Luckily, my husband has a 4 wheel drive so we were able to get out today. It's bad because a lot of people are stranded at the airport, and hardly anything is open. But the good thing about Denver blizzards is that by Saturday, most everything will be back to normal. We get a bunch of snow, but then the sun comes along and melts it quickly!

Yes - what a trip! I've been through a lot of big storms in Denver, and I've never known the mail to shut down before. The kitties and I were safe and warm and I dug out the walk this afternoon and walked to 7-11. I'd like to stay put tomorrow, but I have to get out to get medication. That may be on foot, too - the streets are unplowed and really icy. That's okay - I desperately need the exercise..

Is there anyone in Denver not suffering through this blizzard? Ha ha. Well, I hear they got I-25 open at least. Tomorrow I'll dig my car out and check it out!

Yes!
It has thrown a wrench in my Christmas travel plans. I was heading home to see my family on the 20th but my flight has been cancelled twice and I was just informed my Friday flight is now cancelled and the next available flight out is Christmas day! It looks like I'll be spending Christmas in Colorado and not with my family.
Oh well - you've got to make the best of it. At least it is beautiful outside right now.

Yes and I'm so ticked off cause my apartment complex doesn't plow. My husband and I have at least 40 feet worth of 4 foot drifts to dig through to get to our only exit out of the parking lot and we don't have any shovles. :-( I'm very frustrated with my apartment complex right now and i hope they take money off of our January rent cause we won't be able to make it if we can't get our cars out to go to work.
One drift next to the Garages actually gors over my head (5'5). That's kind of funny.
P.S. Sorry to complain. I'm really upset.

Yes, it's up past my knees. But I've known it to be a lot worse( up past my head).
The panic seems worse than ever. Before the city didn't shut down, as it did this time, for this much snow. I think we're just not use to the storms we use to get.

Yep.
Finally Dug out today and made it to work.
Shut down noon on Wednesday, so it was nice to have a "snow day."
It was kind of fun, watched movies, pigged out, and drank whiskey all day.
Sweet.
