The Blizzard of 2006, Part two
Well folks, the airport reopened, my sister and brother-in-law arrived on Dec. 23 for Christmas we left for Montrose and had a wonderful week with my parents, and then low and behold Denver got blasted AGAIN with another 1 1/2 feet of snow!!! This is just in time for me to come back :-) I really didn't need the deja vu experience, but this is probably the most impressive amount of snow I've ever seen. For those of you keeping track, the total amount of snow is about an average of 4 feet in the last two weeks. I went to my brother-in-law's parents church for Christmas Eve in Lakewood and the pastor asked everyone praying for a white Christmas to stop because we had well over two feet at that point. We have more snow now in Denver than we know what to do with, there is no parking lot that doesn't have at least a ten foot mountain of snow from plowing and there are still cars buried underneath all the snow in some places. I'm sure the tow trucks are having a field day and I pity all the emergency workers and plow drivers that have been on call 24/7 for the last two weeks helping out all the stranded people and keeping the roads clear. But, today, the sun is shining and the snow is still melting from the last storm. It'll probably take a good dry two weeks with sunshine every day for all the snow to melt and me to be able to park. So, pray for some sunshine for us here in Denver and for a 50 degree heat wave to hit so we can dig ourselves out!! I hope you all had a great Christmas and best wishes for a fantastic 2007.
