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]

Right down the middle of the street in waist-deep snow. Not a single car moving anywhere.
That one completely shut the city down for 2 or 3 days. You know it's a bad one when it shuts Denver completely down for a few days. [Reply]

And here I thought the Denver forecast was going to be stormy with lot's of fail.

I remember that one. That was big.
My general rule of thumb:
Less than 10 inches - business as usual
10 to 19 inches - stuff slows down a little
20 to 29 inches - everything bogs down and stops for a little while
30+ inches - shutdown [Reply]

Haha. Yeah I remember that storm. They are saying this one is very similar to that one. [Reply]
According to the local forecast we are in that weird zone where we could get a ton of snow or very little. Typically we don’t get hit with as much snow/hail where I am in comparison to other parts of the city. [Reply]
