They were right-February 2, 2016

If there is one thing I have learned for sure after living in Colorado for 29 years it is that the weather people here are no better than any place else in the country. And if they are wrong they have a boat load of excuses. Having said that, I must say the weather forecasters got it right this time though not the right amount or time frame. The predicted snow arrived later than predicted and they did not account for horrendous wind. We have drifts this morning that are shocking including in front of our garage door. We could not go anywhere if we wanted to. But we don't want to! Stay in and stay warm is the game plan for today.

A car did drive through here this morning but it was taking a chance.

You cannot see where the curbs are. Public roads are worse.

 

Today is trash day. What are the odds we will have trash trucks in here? Slim to none. They have been trying to clear snow across the street at the high school but one of the plows broke down. They hauled it off on a wrecker and gave up.

 

See how the wind makes the snow depth vary.

 

Now the big issue is the cold temps. We will be only in the 20s during the day for the next 10 days. Night temps are single digits and below zero tomorrow night. I can quickly name two people who will be thrilled to see Spring arrive. It's a long way away from now but we still look forward to it.

 

At least Derrick got another snow day today. He can spend the day clearing his driveway instead of working inside an office.

 

So friends on the Gulf coast, do have a good warm day for us!!
