It was about this time of year in 2003 that I remember walking right down the middle of Speer in 36" of snow. I had just moved from Costa Rica for a contract banking gig and was living in the Residence Inn at Speer and Zuni. Walked right down the hill on Speer, across the bridge, and right into downtown. Right down the middle of the street in waist-deep snow. Not a single car moving anywhere.
That one completely shut the city down for 2 or 3 days. You know it's a bad one when it shuts Denver completely down for a few days. |

My general rule of thumb: Less than 10 inches - business as usual 10 to 19 inches - stuff slows down a little 20 to 29 inches - everything bogs down and stops for a little while 30+ inches - shutdown |

I hope this weather will make the Bronco's even worse than they already are.

I’m in Colorado Springs and they are calling for like 15”. Thankfully I’m GTFO tomorrow morning.
5 years ago I was here for some ridiculous ass snowstorm. Barely made it in and got stuck in the hotel. I’m waiting till June next ****ing time. |

I asked, "Are you new to Colorado?" The woman said, "Yes! We just moved from California!!" I asked if they were planning on planting those flowers into the ground. "Well, of course silly!!" I just smiled as the man looked at me with a "Wait, why is he smiling?" look on his face. Must have been about $400 worth flowers.... |
