Blizzard - March 2009

Last week we received a Spring Blizzard that dumped 1.5 ft of snow at our house. The funny thing is, two weeks ago Rebecca had gone for a 12 mile bike ride and it was 78 degrees outside. That Thursday, March 26th we got snow int he morning and it kept falling all day long.

Rebecca went to work that morning in Boulder, and left at noon to head home before the storm got worse. It took her 2.75 hours to get home when her commute typically takes 20 minutes. Hwy 36 was closed at noon and remained closed till 3:30pm until CDOT plowed the highway.

We were worried that we wouldn't be able to make it to the mountains with friends on Friday, so we carpooled in their 4x4. Needless to say, most of the snow melted on Friday and the streets had lots of steam coming off them. It was quite surreal.

Enjoy the pictures. Kit had a blast playing and eating the snow!
