ET Warrior Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I was going to make a thread about this earlier, but I completely forgot. For those unaware, Colorado was hit by one of the worst snowstorms in recent history (4th biggest snowfall in Denver ever), burying almost the entire eastern half of the state with 1-5 feet of snow on the plains, and much more in the mountains. The snow started late last Tuesday (19th) and lasted about a day and a half. Pretty much every town in the state completely shut down because of this. Grocery stores still haven't been able to restock their shelves, and we even got some more snow on Sunday. DIA was completely shut down for a full day and a half, which I know caused a lot of travelers complications. There is a group on facebook devoted to it, here are some select user-submitted pictures Yes, there is a car in this picture. They might be there awhile... I think it's impressive that there is that kind of pile-up of snow, when there were 20+ mph winds during the snowfall snow drifts are funny and this is why DIA was closed I hope the blizzard didn't negatively affect any of you or your loved ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWally Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I heard about it but I didn't see any pictures or anything. Just information. I didn't imagine it was nearly as bad as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerd_Annhilator Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 We had that here a few weeks ago. (London Ontario) The whole city was shut down. Driving down my street was impossible, proven by a taxi cab that had been abandoned since it became buried in the snow. There was 3 feet or more of snow everywhere. Was great fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Dravis Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Wow, that's pretty intense. I've personally never been snowed on more than a few mm thick. That kind of thing would be scary. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jebbers Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Hey! We out here in Buffalo would gladly take 2 feet off that snow off your hands. This was my first Christmas without snow! We had a grand total of about 12 inches over a 2 month span! I hope it snows soon, I want to get laid off and stay home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Obi-Wan Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 We had a green Christmas last year, but the snows back. ^_^ We haven't had any snow since way before Christmas, it's kinda nice, but I'm not used to it. I hope for the best for you anyway, ET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcd1234 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 IG, you should take all of it. This snow could potentially wreck havoc on New Year's Eve festivities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
