Look outside! If you haven't noticed yet, it's been snowing since about 7 o'clock last night without stopping. Now you're wondering, "does this mean the mountains will be blissfully powdery this weekend," and the answer is...not really.
Unfortunately, this storm has moved in from the eastern plains region into the city and has pretty much stayed here. There are some flurries and a few inches gathering in the Rockies, but that's nothing compared to the nearly two feet that has accumulated in other parts of the state.
And it just keeps coming! The forecast predicts that this storm will last until midway through tomorrow and for all of us skiers and boarders, let's hope that it moves into the mountains. However, it's looking like it's heading towards all of those darn flat states next to us.
The last time we had a snowstorm this big was in February of 1912, with an accumulation of about 14 inches. We've got that beat by about a foot and it's still going.
As the Colorado Department of Transportation likes to say, "Ice and snow, drive slow!" There are many road closures due to this storm, so if you do need to drive, check out http://www.coloradodot.info/ or send a tweet to @coloradodot and they will respond to you as fast as they can!
Well, folks, get out your shovels and your snowboots, because we're in this one for the long haul.
