The mother of all Blizzards
 

Holy cow maud...I have been here (Colorado) for almost 20 years and never seen this much snow

DENVER (AP) - Governor Bill Owens is declaring a disaster emergency as a winter-like storm bears down on the eastern half of Colorado, saying he wants to free up additional resources to help cope with the weather.

The governor also opened the Emergency Operations Center and the Colorado National Guard Joint Operations Center, which will be manned 24 hours a day.

Owens is also activating the National Guard and putting guard members on standby to assist stranded motorists, but says he hopes it won't be necessary to endanger their lives as well.

The state stationed emergency vehicles, Humvees, snow cats and emergency response teams across the state before the storm hit.

Owens says a state trooper told him that Humvees are the only way to reach stranded motorists.

I thought this was a RedRum joke thread.

You may have to start looking for Rainman. He hasn't made it home yet.

It's just mother nature's way of punishing me for moving to Dungver.

It would be a damn shame if this had a negative affect on Denver's play the remainder of the season.

yeah I saw that I think they have closed the Metro Area down to Authorized Vehicles only (Police/Fire/EMT)


I'm tellin ya it is bad....I'll post a home pic in a min

You should build a GINORMOUS snowman......a Chiefs snowman.

Do it in a bronco fan's front yard.

They just closed DIA.

Send it up here will you? We can use it!

We had a pretty good one here a couple of weeks ago. 15" of snow. Closed the airport and 3 turnpikes.

Its going to cost you...

The neighbors truck almost burried

Anyone wanna splain this one to me? :spock:

At this point, I'll pay the price. Nothing like a snowless Christmas in Montana........this sucks. :shake:

Yea, we just got rid of the remnants of that last week.
