They're forecasting 10 to 20 inches of snow here in Denver over the next two days. I may have to kill my ox for food.

74 degrees here, time to get Lil stumppy on the lawnmower.

I actually kind of like big snowstorms. It's very peaceful, other than perhaps the howling wind.

I can't beleive how many people made it to the Crush game

Trees are going down.

There's just too much wet snow which is adding tremedous weight and strain on the trees. Power outages are already happening around town and could get worse by the end of the day.

Being cooped up in the house has made Cosmic quite the baker: I've already made a batch of homemade dog bisquits, a batch of brownies, a batch of spaghetti sauce cooking in the crockpot, a bowl of salad made and I'm opening a bottle of wine. Let it snow!

those brownies should make the time pass easily

**Rain Man** · 04-10-2005, 02:40 PM

I'm sure glad that I had the foresight to seek shelter. If I was just living out on the plains, I'd be really cold and wet right now.

Time to break out the BBQ grill!

Oh and uhh, Rain Man, I like you and all but today, well, ... it sucks to be you, pal.

Here too, It's beautiful here! I had my lawn mowed and was sitting on my deck enjoying the nice green grass drinking lemonade by 11am this morning. This April has been incredibly warm for us in eastern Iowa so far

Just kinda spitting out here at the moment. It's 42 out so it's too warm for snow. Though there is snow on the bluffs. But if you look at the radar it looks like were in the middle of a big shower.

Don't worry. The storm should be in your area by tomorrow or the day after.

I'm sitting here watching the Masters in Augusta. It's all green. Big, beautiful luscious green.

Look out my window though and it's white. Everything is white.

Make sure you bring your brother Batman and your sister EAT shit, otherwise you'll kill a 440 pound oxen for food, but only be able to carry 100 lbs back to the wagon...

Rep to anyone who guesses the reference...

I think I will go for a run on the beach.

I think I'll make a snow sculpture of a snowman running on the beach.

**Skip Towne** · 04-10-2005, 04:55 PM

70° and sunny here. Somebody post a pic of all that beautiful snow.

**Rain Man** · 04-10-2005, 05:03 PM

Here's a live view of Interstate 25 at Monument Hill. Monument Hill is the highest point on the highway between Denver and Colorado Springs (maybe 7,500 feet), and tends to get more snow.

Looks like a slow day on the highway. I think they closed it.

Pretty slow at the Eisenhower Tunnel, too. I think it's closed as well.

The Tunnel is at something like 11,000 feet. My first year in Denver, they had to close it down on July 4th due to a snowstorm.
