Denver had a spring-like snowstorm this past Wednesday night into Thursday morning, and the weather people were going crazy reporting on it. The morning news programs yesterday reported on nothing else. It was by no means comparable to the storm in Buffalo, and due to the varying elevations in the metro area, some areas received over a foot while Denver officially received 7 inches. Because of the relatively warm temperatures, the snow was wet and heavy, breaking many tree branches and causing some power outages. And naturally, once the storm ended and the sun came out Thursday morning, there was a major traffic jam on I-70 as people headed up to the ski resorts to take advantage of the fresh powder. I hope they all have a season pass, since a one day lift ticket at Breckenridge is $255. Although I suppose that is a small price to pay for spending a day out in the cold after driving several hours through bumper to bumper traffic, with a nightmare drive back home to look forward to. Enjoy!
