Lots of Wolverines and Sooners are going to be hitting the sky this weekend to travel west and this could screw a bunch of those guys.

Started at ~noon... 6" on top of the old snow already. The old snow shrunk from 30+ to 8+.

This white crap needs to stay in the mountains.

Had to put the chains back on. 15 minutes to go from Peoria/I70 to Chambers/I70. Will be taking the side roads home again.

Still, I've been watching the plows for several hours now. Looks like they don't want a repeat of the last storm, eh?

SNOW - 4 hours of snow and ice to make it over Monarch
Pass. What is usually 2 hours took four today. I hit snow and ice at about Cotopaxi and it was pretty much solid over the top of Monarch. Drive into Gunnison was fine, then hit more snow packed roads until west of Blue Mesa. Roads were clear through to Moab.

BTW - MOAB, UTAH is where I'll be while you guys enjoy more snow in Colorado. laugh

I'll be hitting the trail in the morning. I have chains for all four wheels if needed, but my hope is a little slickrock for three days.

You guy's get things cleaned up by the first when I am coming through denver - Okay?

Hopefully three days of beautiful wheeling in MOAB.

Todd

You all really have to send some of that snow this way. Every year we're seem to be getting less and less snow over here. Sucks.

What does it look like as far as snow amounts and road conditions in the Denver/Boulder area?

I was supposed to be driving back to Boulder via I-70, leaving KC Saturday morning.

However, I wont be able to since I-70 is closed at the west end of Kansas.

What does everyone forsee as far as road conditions in the next day or two? Is this storm worse than the one last week?

It is not worse, but not over yet. Last week we got 30 inches in 24 hours. This week it could be 30 inches in 4 days. Should stop by Saturday morning. If the wind cooperates, I-70 could be open Sunday.

Sucks here!!






Mill Canyon, Monitor/Merrimac, Seven Mile Rim
Only a little snow on the trail. A section above Uranium Arch gave me trouble. Must fix the ARB compressor tonight.

See you guys later.

Just back from 10 days in Denver, CO. We had a fantastic time love the place snow and all.

We had 3 feet right before we arrived and another foot of snow a couple of days before we left smile

The X did great, about 2600 miles round trip didnt miss a beat although I finally blew a headlight bulb. It was interesting to watch my fuel mileage drop from 17 mpg or so to 12.5 eek once we started uphill through colorado. Thats the first time I've filled up twice in 300 miles....lol.

I've got some great pics will put a few up in the next day or two.

Regards and thank you denver for a white xmas!!

The street looks pretty much the same today.. almost all the cars have been dug out.. but the street is still packed with snow! I still use 4wd to park safely!

I'm ready for round 3 -- I love this stuff! cool
