Wife sent me pics from this morning at our house just south of Denver. The snow gauge sez 2' 7" and it is still coming down fairly strong. Should let up this evening, but figure to get over a meter accumlated. The big problem is it is drifting with areas of the yard already over 6' deep. The 70 foot driveway is impassable and will have to be shoveled out by the girls (both are home now, beats having dear ole dad break his back).

All the oil lamps are full, the gas fireplace is going strong, there are two 5 gallon jugs of propane in the garage, both the 4wd rigs have full tanks, both the 10 gallon water jugs have been topped off, and both refrigerators are stocked with two or more weeks of food. Oh yeah, and the liquor cabinet and wine rack are both well stocked.

Now if only I can manage to get into DIA tomorrow night, then I might be able to join them for Xmas. Happiness is knowing that the family is well prepared. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
