Tony, the Copy Center Manager at the DU Bookstore - is a native Coloradan and is not fazed by a little snow now and then. Tony lives in Aurora (a suburb of Denver), which received about a foot of snow yesterday, and the storm didn't change his routine at all. He went to church, drove his son to a relative's house, and ran various errands. However, he feels that people in the Denver area have lost the ability to drive in snow. This might well be true, but there are good reasons for this. For one thing, Denver has not received very much snow over the past few years, and people aren't used to driving in it anymore. Plus, 10 million or so Californians have moved into the state recently, and most of them have never seen snow before. They tend to slow down, look up at the sky, and try to make sense of it all. Kind of like the people in Siberia last week who witnessed a meteor flying across the sky. Give 'em all a break, Tony.
