Scott — we have nothing here in Lander either. Though, last night as we were coming home (left Denver around 9:30 am on Friday) we did hit some snow between Muddy Gap and Sweetwater Junction. It had just turned dark and was just enough snow to keep me from seeing the highway. Oh well, we finally drove out of it when we were about 30 miles outside Lander. The roads weren’t too slick and 4WD saved the week for me:)

Isn’t it funny how Pueblo was so darn far from Denver? Crazy. Now, the only thing that makes it far is the traffic on I25!

Kevin — The snow was beautiful! It amazed us how quickly it shut the city down. We had ventured out from our hotel on Wednesday to the Park Meadows Mall in Highlands ranch because Tieki was needing some jeans for next semester. Well, we were hunting for sales and all of a sudden, stores began closing in the mall and we figured we should get out while Penneys was still open and we wouldn’t have to walk around the mall to our parking spot. Luckily, Ted has a sister that lives about 5 miles from Park Meadows, because our hotel room was 30 miles away and they had closed I25.

Denver normally doesn’t get that much snow. Here in Lander, 100 inches plus is the norm, but we haven’t got much this year yet..

I’m glad that you will get to spend your late 100s in retirement with snow in the winter:) Do you think you will still be capable of shoveling the drive at that age? I guess it doesn’t matter if you’re millionaires — just pay someone to do it, huh? LOL

Stay and enjoy the snow! Man, I am so jealous of you guys. Spent 6 months in Aspen when I was young, and when we become millionaires, that’s where we are moving (well, snowmass or carbondale actually). There’s something about snow falling in the evening that makes all of it’s hassles worthwile.

Current estimation on when we will become millionaires is March, 2164. If the market holds. But you are enjoying it 157 years before us. Lucky!

I had wondered if y’all were anywhere near all the snow. Now I know

Way back when I was too young to remember, we lived in Denver when it got hit with a Christmastime blizzard. I had gone down to Pueblo (back then that was a looooong way away from Denver) with extended family and Mom and Dad were going to come later in the week. So, the day that Mom and Dad were to go down was the day the snow hit and closed I-25. I’m sure the state patrolman was sympathetic towards Mom’s emotions, but safety was the top concern that day.

Travel safe (when you get the chance). oh, and be sure to build a snowman or something for me before you leave (we have nothing up here )
