9 news (the premier weather station in town, they are usually pretty legit) says 24-36 inches in the mountains by tomorrow afternoon! Holy Shit!!!!!!!! and 10-20 down in Denver, for those (like me) who can't get up tomorrow, so all urbans are game tomorrow. Everyone in Colorado say WORD!

I shit you not, there is in excess of two feet of snow on the ground here in Boulder. Most people at CU are done with exams, so this came at a perfect time. It is almost anarchy for those who are out in the storm. I hiked 3 miles down a 4 lane road to get to a friends house in North Boulder (After digging out my Xterra and it getting stuck in a 4 foot drift in the ally behind my house) and saw more snowmobiles on the streets than cars. Boulder police are powerless to stop people from skiing in the middle of the street. People are skiing powder in the middle of the fucking street on main roads! On the way back tonight, people were drinking while waling down the middle of 4 lane roads.

All flights into/out of Denver will be closed for at least another day. I was supposed to go to fly my farm in PA for Christmas tomorrow, but now the earliest I can get out is Christmas Eve. Every road into and out of Boulder is closed off and barricaded due to blizzard conditions. My roommate was trying to get back from summit county tonight and said he was driving through over a foot of drifted snow in the middle of I-70. They ended up shutting down the road and he found a hotel.

EVERY INTERSTATE IN COLORADO IS CLOSED. I70, I76, I25. The road to Denver International Airport is also closed and the people stranded there are locked off from the outside world. The Colorado National Guard and the Red Cross were organizing a caravan of army trucks to try to get to the airport tonight. This storm is pretty big.

If the roads are open in the morning I am going to dig out and chain up my Xterra and try to make it to Keystone, Winter Park, or Breck. This storm was an upslope storm, which means Loveland, Winter Park, Keystone, and A Basin got the brunt of it.

no see this organization called CDOT (colorado district of transportation) has these things called plows which clear off the roads and put salt and chemicals on them so you can drive over them. well as long as you take a winter driving course going out 5 hours after even a huge dump is not that dangerous.
