Try it in DC. People flip out when it sprinkles rain, let alone snow.

It's such a transient area, few people seem to be used to it. A 1" snowfall sends them into a panic. A threat of snow closes the schools.

Traffic is bad enough here on a clear sunny day.

From Highlands Ranch, (Quebec & C-470 area)

On my deck. 20 inches, not a drift:


Front, ~ 18 inches, the drift is about 24 inches:


Ally, notice the drifts in this wind tunnel:

My original flight is gone and cancelled.
Try calling United, get to the point where I should be in a queue for a cust service rep, I get booted to a busy signal and hung up on.
The flight is/was operated by Air Canada, so I call them. No problem inside of 2 minutes I have a customer service rep who actually provides service! So, I fly to Toronto at noon local time tomorrow...have a layover till 5:00-ish to get home to Denver. If that flight is cancelled, I have a flight to KC from Toronto that leaves @ 4 so I'm good. Or I can try to fly to Denver on Friday morning
I will never fly United again, so long as I have a choice...total lack of customer service...but I knew that already

People here can't even deal with Rain yet alone snow! I wouldn't even bother getting out of bed if there was snow on the ground.

Hey neighbor - I am off Lucent and 470.

snow.. Is that where all those snow birds come from?? Yea I wish we got snow in these parts. People would freak out... But with the way the swells have been all outta wack lately you never know...

Funny, I'm in Lone Tree at Lincoln and 25

DIA closed until noon on the 22nd.

Damn Matt, so I guess your job is really boring right now then huh. Or did they even make you go to work?

My parents are hoping to get into denver on friday, flight was cancelled for today they are stuck in Japan Wife and I are hitting the road soon hoping to make it up to denver by friday night if we can get through Kansas

We sure picked a great place for a white Xmas...lol.

Its funny, normally we get hammered...right now, its short sleeve weather, and clear as bell...looks like no white X-Mas for us.

I'm curious, how many inches of snow can an X handle?

Well, the last blizzard we had, I was able to romp through drifts as high as the headlights...and go over the one's taller than the truck...and drive circles around stuck trucks in about 2' - 3' or so.

A lot depends on the quality of the snow, and if you can compress it with your treads to get a bite...or if it walls up in front of you, or ramps up the frame to high center you, etc.

(Powder is the most fun)

So far, with the AT ko's, the X has been unstoppable...I've seen Interco TrXus do amazing as well....etc.

Man, that brings back memories of the '03 blizzard when I lived there. I can't wait until I can finally move back.

Just talked to Ponyboys fiance and she sent me this.

Kevin, the DEN being closed is one thing, but I just worked my tail off to get 15 miles-in-trail for a ton of Aspen and Eagle arrivals, stepping them down around a bunch of overflights. The normal traffic waves to and from DEN are pretty much gone until tomorrow, then we'll be playing catch-up.

Getting to work wasn't too bad, I stopped to help a stuck Grand Cherokee and F150 trying to get on the diagonal at Niwot.

Looks like a big pow pow day for you guys. LUCKY YOU. LOL. Our storm is hitting the Sierras now.

Here's out X this morning.

My flight for Denver tomorrow is already cancelled.. not sure what I'm gonna do.

Here are some pictures from Boulder, CO. We got a total of about 16". The roads are fun to drive in. No left turns for any other cars.

I rescued 8 vehicles who were high centered, including a huge lifted truck.

I was plowing through 3-4' snow plow berms with no problems what-so-ever. My new tires were incredible. And the lift sure helped out my ground clearance as well.

My roommates Toyota Camry:



My other roommates Ford Focus:



My X:

Well, I ended up in KC, my final destination anyway

DIA might open at noon tomorrow...last I heard (from my wife out in Eastern CO...kinda Limon-ish area) I-70 is still closed from Denver to Hays KS...good luck with getting through KS

Here are a couple of pics from Greeley.

Man, spent last night and most of today digging over 30 vehicles out of being stuck (made a couple of $ too!). Also played taxi for the hospital and went and got a couple of nurses so they could get to work.

Chains and 4 wheel drive in this stuff is great! I cleared out alleys, went everywhere I wanted to go and had a blast doing it. Now I get to take the wife to work again tomorrow and then go to work myself. Ah well, had to end the fun sometime.

edited due to snowblindness (can't spell either!)

Man I wish. I pulled out 6 stuck vehicles today while the wife was wandering around Sams Club. Nobody offered me any $$$ and diesel is expensive.

Thing that really sucked was that all the gas stations were closed, and all that cash didn't do me any good yesterday.

But today, well, I'm going out for lunch. [Austing Powers] Yeah Baby, Yeah! [/Austin Powers]
