A little March snowstorm!
I jest… it’s actually a HUGE snow storm, and below are a few pictures to prove it. We woke up this Tuesday morning to closed schools (Ashley liked that!) and already about 8 inches on the ground. It has been snowing the entire time, averaging about 2 inches an hour. My last amateur measurement put the unofficial total so far at 25 inches, here at our house, south of Denver. The word here is that the snowfall rate will increase over the night and we could have an additional 2 feet by morning. Wow.

Didn’t we JUST shovel this? |

Hey there, we are way behind you with about 12 inches in Boulder. I’m exhausted just looking at all the snow you shoveled…actually my back aches too. We shall see what the night brings??? Aren’t we fortunate to not have any commute tomorrow morning!
Love,
Mom

Since we had been listening to a Denver radio station upstairs, I was hoping there might be a few lines of email from out there, and then to find all your pictures was just wonderful!
We’ll be thinking about everyone. I had even wondered about Twizzler, and it was fun to see that he "loves it"! It sounds like more of the same for you today!
Love, Grandma and Grandpa
P.S. I’ve never made a ‘comment’ before, so we will see if this goes.

Don’t worry everyone, I am not doing any heavy lifting! Not a good time to need to get to the hospital. We do have a neighbor that can get out and has offfered to take us to the hospital if need be. Ashley has another day off of school, 3 days now, and we might not be able to get out until Friday! But no one is complaining, we need the water!
Love,
Carrie
