And lots of it! Between 8” and 48” from the east metro to the foothills. I-25 from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs. Expected to be a heavy wet snow that will break trees and down power lines. Be prepared! I’ll be out working so if you need anything gimme a jingle here. [Reply]

A few years ago about this time of year, I was at "Home Depot" in the plant section. It was about 70F. Went to check out and there was a couple in front of me with a flat bed full of flowers. The woman was saying, "I don't see why everyone says winters here are bad!! It's gorgeous out!!"
I asked, "Are you new to Colorado?"
The woman said, "Yes! We just moved from California!!"
I asked if they were planning on planting those flowers into the ground.
"Well, of course silly!!"
I just smiled as the man looked at me with a "Wait, why is he smiling?" look on his face.
Must have been about $400 worth flowers.... [Reply]

Every year we see or hear that from someone, especially on Nextdoor. The ones who have been here long enough know better than to trust these "false Springs". Like clockwork though some will plant something outside during this time of year only to be disappointed when the inevitable snow and cold come back. [Reply]

I just do what Katipan's vagina tells me to do. [Reply]
I threw a couple of crackers out for our resident squirrels to help them ride out the storm. My wife also made a cake so we can burrow in for the next couple of days. [Reply]

That will be handy when I get stranded.
I'm assuming DenverChief can get me to your house.

It’s people like you! We have squirrels come into our backyard all the time and dig up my wife’s flower bulbs and drive our Corgi crazy as they run along the back fence and into a tree in our neighbor’s yard. She swears someone feeds them as they occasionally drop a peanut or two in our yard. They also shred our sunflowers in late summer. You are part of the enabler crowd. [Reply]
