Did someone say SNOW?!?!?
This was the view just outside our front door yesterday morning!!
The cast iron gate that you can barely see…is over 3ft tall btw.
Hey…where’s Jason’s car??
Oh wait…I think I see it. Is that big white hump just beyond the light post it??
That kind of resembles it…kind of.
Over the past 48 hours we have received over 36 inches of snow…well, in our neighborhood anyway. Other cities in Colorado have received over 7ft of snow!!! Needless to say, (but I’m going to anyway) my car is not even parked somewhere remotely close to our house at the moment…it’s about 2 blocks or so away. It took me quite some time to travel from my work in Castle Rock (about 22 mi. South from my home) back to my house early Tuesday afternoon…and then when I arrived in my neighborhood, I was not able to make it up the hill that leads to my house. So, my car is parked off to curb in front of a neighbor’s house (who I just met that day and he helped dig my car out enough to push it off to the side of the road).
So…it looks like we finally got that snow that I’ve been wanting for so long eh?
The meteorologists around the Denver Metro Area are calling this storm the Blizzard of Spring 2003…umm, okay. Granted, no one is going any where any time soon, but I’ve seen a LOT more snow than this…but I grew up in Michigan where this is just part of a normal winter experience! We did spend about 4 hours yesterday afternoon without any electricity…but we played Monopoly with the kids to make the time pass by quicker. It was fun!
The kids aren’t quite sure as to what to think about all of this, but they did have fun playing out in the snow yesterday.
I hope all of you are doing well and have had a wonderful week thus far!! As for us, well…I’m won’t be going into work until MAYBE tomorrow and we’re just going to attempt to dig ourselves out of this now.

OH MY!!! ROFL!! That is alot of snow!
Wow thats some snow , I thought is spring tomorrow
Holy crap! I hope that storm doesn’t come my way!
WOW!! That’s crazy. Weather over here in Indiana has taken a turn from where it was. The past week it’s been in the 60s and 70s and all of the snow has disappeared except for the 6 foot high drifts that are still against buildings. Spring is here in the hoosier state!
You have to admit – snow is very beautiful. Sounds like you know how to make being stranded inside fun.
Aaah it looks so much prettier when it’s not in my own backyard…enjoy it!

Whoa, now that is a little bit of snow… It is easy to think I would like to be you right about now but if I actually had to deal with it I might feel different..
Wow, lucky you. Not. Hee, seriously, I’m sorry for you guys. That sucks. But try and have a good weekend, I’m sure your kids will have some fun in the snow, hey?
