Right down the middle of the street in waist-deep snow. Not a single car moving anywhere.

That one completely shut the city down for 2 or 3 days. You know it's a bad one when it shuts Denver completely down for a few days.

I remember that one. That was big.

My general rule of thumb:

Less than 10 inches - business as usual
10 to 19 inches - stuff slows down a little
20 to 29 inches - everything bogs down and stops for a little while
30+ inches - shutdown

Haha. Yeah I remember that storm. They are saying this one is very similar to that one.
