Colorado Blizzard of 2003

Here's a picture following a 24 hour blizzard here in northern Colorado. Approximately 30" fell in 24 hours.

ouch...looks almost like my house a month or so ago...

Looks familiar, Jared. Where you at?
I'm in n.e. Thornton. I measured 24 inches of snowpack on my yard, this morning. I'm guessing another 4-6 inches melted since Monday night, so I figure the total snowfall at my house was ~30 inches.

I hear the "water content" was in the 12-15% range. I'm going to fill a pail and let it melt in the garage, just to see how much water it yields.

No plow, today. I'm taking a break from shovelling. I'll get back out there around 8pm.

Take care.

Goodness, Jared! It was 80 degrees here today in Alexandria, LA. I did a little kiteflying at a local park, worked on my tan just a bit by the pool & took a brisk stroll of a couple of miles in shorts & a muscle shirt. The red bud trees are blooming & bumble bees buzzing. Now if I can just make myself do a bit of observing :-) DR
