How's it looking for our area? The last storm dumped between 15 and 20" on us.Quote:

Make sure you dig six inches deep, fellas.
This storm is in someways very similar to last weeks storm and different. The models are diverging a bit unlike last week's storm when they were aligned. I don't think the orographic component is favorable for the aspen zone, but GJT called for a strong cold front to move through tomorrow night. They are still under a WSwatch, so my guess would be a foot or so.Quote:

Hoping/praying my flight can make it from Chicago!!
Book a rental car in Chicago and drive... it will be faster.Quote:

"Multiple Accidents. Major Delays." on I-70. Should be impossible, err, impassible (nothing's impossible) in another hour or two. :biggrin: :biggrin: and dumping at Sol Vista's redheaded stepchild a little ways' down 40.
well fuck. I'm gonna get really hosed on this one.
Last one, we got out during the storm on Wed (?) afternoon - still took us 3 hours to get to Frisco. Woke up early, and had a foot at Keystone, mostly to ourselves. Came back down to Denver Thur PM and it looked like a war zone.
I'd love to get out of town right now, ahead again, but the gf has a dentist thing in another hour or two, and her Chi-town friends are hypothetically arriving later tonight at DIA. Originally scheduled for Fri mid-day, so I told them to change to Thur mid-day if they wanted to get in at all. Of course, they ended up on an 8pm flight, which is probably only marginally better than Friday morning.
I'm sure they'll be delayed, which means we've got no shot of getting out tonight, which means we'll be fucked in the AM by the traffic shitshow on Friday AM.
Sigh.
My wife's Frontier flight has already been cancelled. It was supposed to arrive DIA at 9:30pm.
Really? Shit, I better go check on the gf's friends flights.Quote:

EDIT: sorry to hear that Fritz.
I just want to reiterate how much I hate you all right now.
I will be eagerly awaiting pictures tomorrow night. Best of luck with the cancelled flights, Yoss! (I hope that's not bad karma to say that...)
Come on CDOT, keep it open a bit longer.
We are hoping to get out of Boulder around 4 and get to Summit. Lets see if CDOT can keep it open into the evening when things really pickup. If not, we do the super early departure tomorrow morning or just head to Eldora or super secret spots in RMNP (could be slow though as the angle is low and predicted snow fall high)
Thanks, but I'm fucking stoked. Might just head up I-70 in a couple hours now.Quote:
