mind all that snow has fallen in about an hour. Its been about 2.5 hours since it started and we've already got up to 3-4 inches in aurora. Man I just had lax game in this. Coldest experience of my life, a shirt and shorts do not mix well with this weather. The ref had to call the game because it was snowing sooo hard and we couldn't see the ball ha...

We won't get 20 inches, probably 5-6.  You must be insane.  I-70 is for noobs, and Summit County is skiid out in an hour.  Best of luck.

Well being that 5-6 has already fallen here in Northern Denver, I would assume you sir are wrong. Stop trying to be a badass and get over yourself. I take I70 every weekend, a hell lot better than taking 285. Thanks for playing..

Have you ever lived in Summit? I70 Fucking Blows! Oh and its an upslope storm like every other one this year, 5-6 inches in denver means nothing. Last weak it snowed two feet in boulder and none in summit.

Yeah peace

Actually I lived in Summit from 1996 to 2008. So yea, I know. My father was a local business owner and on one of the town boards for Frisco.

5-6 inches in Denver does mean nothing. My point was it has already snowed 5-6 inches and the storm started only a few hours ago, the storm is suppose to last until tomorrow late afternoon sometime. so yeah.

Ya I'm driving through Aurora as we speak, too bad the mountains are 125 miles from here.  Try looking at the snow forecast, which all predict about 5 inches.  Good luck finding 20 inches in Summit.

And it's not like I dislike snow, it's just that "20 inches" is much different than 5-8 inches.
