This is what I woke up to this morning.
 It's currently snowing in chunks. We'll take it!!  Claims might be snowed-in now until mid-May but we could really use this moisture right now.  I think this is because I hand-waxed the Jeep yesterday.

 Thanks Chris! After you posted that, the snow started to come in sideways with a nasty wind from your direction.  It's all melted here already but cloudy today. Definately well needed moisture though! Spring time in the Rockies!! -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

Dumping real hard right now (no wind thankfully). So far have easily doubled the amount pictured above and they're predicting more of the heavy stuff for the next few days.
Really really really good news for up here. .... and the Jeep loves it! I might go cruising around today with the tow chain looking for Toyotas.

Didn't get crap out of the "storm" we were supposed to get last week, just a lot of wind. Not even much rain to speak of either. -------------------- Life goes by so fast/You only wanna do what you think is right/Close your eyes and it's past/Story of my life - Mike Ness

yep when the storm got done with you it ended up comeing over to my house and it rained and the wind blew sideways. as i sat in my Lazyboy recliner i heard the storm warnings go off and they have all different sounds and meanings, so i thought it was just for the strom. as i sat there watching a video, i thought to myself,"that wind sounds just like the last tornado i sat through" and my wife agreeed with me! after it was all over and my video ended. we switched on the local news and they said a tornado just went through our town, about 1/2 mile from me! if that thing would have hit my home, i could move to Colorado tommorrow! but ill just have to wait and see!:)

Dang Russ, glad you are ok! I hope that video was a good one. Yesterday was a doozie here! Very high winds all day then we woke up to several inches of snow.

We got a lot of wind and about an inch here yesterday, it came out of nowhere in the morning but by about 2:30 it was done. Today it randomly decided to poop some snow on us for about 10 minutes and now we're back to sunshine. Maybe tomorrow it'll rain mud.
