28″ of snow and counting

This is crazy. Here’s what we are doing today.

Our house and me and my neighbors digging out. I barely got in the front yard when two of my neighbors - one with a snow blower - came over and started helping. Incredible.

Of course, I was informed that since we live on the corner - we’re responsible for the sidewalk that goes to the mailbox. Looks like I’ll be snow-blower shopping in the spring.

Kids playing on the “fort” in our front yard.

These are from our backyard. The drift goes over up to our fence. That the roof of the garage that Camber can almost reach.

    Wish I had a neighbor with a snow blower, or an extra shovel, or better yet - A TRACTOR. You are so lucky!!

    Remember the Denver Blizzard of 82?
    I was in Denver over Christmas in 1982. My mom lived there at the time and we were supposed to go skiing the day the blizzard hit. That was going to be my first time skiing and I was ticked. Never been able to go skiing in Colorado since.

    I got a t-shirt that said “I survived the Blizzard of ‘82″

    We survived the blizzard of ‘82 also. We were living on Fitzsimons Army Medical Center. Grant has stories about that. They dug tunnels all over . We could not get out the back door because of drifts , nor see one of our cars. This is incredible to have this much snow. In 82 it was 24 inches of snow in 24 hours.

    Don’t be a wimp — just shovel it!

    final count - 31 inches.

    I remember the ‘82 blizzard so well. I loved it!! The only problem was it was during Christmas break and we didn’t miss any school.

    Same thing here.

    Bummer.
