Denver area has the downslope Chinook winds melting our snow today but the mountains are getting hammered.  Several feet  throughout the mountains.  I-70 closed due to snow and Ice and if they get it open, probably have to close for short periods for avalanche control.  Walden CO got to -34 Saturday night for he coldest place in the nation. 

No snow forecast for the Denver Area but the mountains are supposed to continue to get lots more snow. 

Stay warm and try to stay dry where ever you are

The levy on the river broke yerterday and hy 395 is closed between gardnerville and carson city because of flooding. A 20 min drive is taking up To two hours to drive around.  A lot of flooding in Reno. Now we have heavy snow in the Mountians and most of the passes are closed. At least the snow and cold will stop the flooding

Having lived in North Dakota and Montana for over 55+ years,I got to hate snow,ice and cold temps!!!! Finally moved to western Oregon to get away from the ugly white monster!
It's been great,never below 25 degrees in the winter months and NO SNOW! LOL
Well this year floored us, with over a half foot of snow and teen temps! It last only a month or so,our rains are back and hopefully the white stuff is gone!

Snow supposed to come in this evening. 3" to 5" expected by Wednesday evening. Wind expected with the snow. More drifts to shovel out of the driveway.  :Bash:

   Yep, snowing here again, 2 inches on the ground and more coming. Worst in over 30 years but nothing like when I lived in Michigan and the Dakotas. Moving back to Oregon for liquid sunshine, had enough.

This means a huge rock sale this spring, if the damn snow ever melts.

This winter is the coldest and snowiest in 30 years according to old timers in Pullman. An unusual number of moose have been in the Palouse this winter  apparently driven out of Idaho by the snow. A lot of spring fever out there.

Sounds like lots of us are ready for spring,   In last few days we have had about 6 inches of snow, and cold, extreme cold warning today,  it was -46 with wind chill
But at least forcast is for melting in couple days,

 It has been snowing; it is snowing, it will be snowing. Getting tired of conjugating Snow!. The mailbox and furnace vent are slowly disappearing- both bad signs, especially the furnace vent. I hate the thought of having to battle through huge drifts of snow and enormous bushes just to get to the thing to shovel it out, with the snow well over the tops of my boots and no ski pants. Ugh. We had 4.5 " Tuesday, 8.5" Thursday, 10" yesterday through today and going, plus, if it ever stops, another storm predicted Wednesday through Thursday, and nothing has melted because it's been so cold. It did briefly warm up and dump freezing rain in there, b ut that is just extra cement holding it all in place.  The white stuff is real pretty and so are the waves from the howling winds, but c'mon now. Enough is enough! View from my neighbor's house. The waves are actually huge and roaring, though you can't tell in the picture.

It is bleeping still snowing. It was supposed to stop! People are starting to have to carve out their house windows-on the second floor. The roads seem barely plowed.  The plow drivers have been given off time to go sleep because they haven't had any sleep at all in 3 days and the roads not only have huge furrows, but the main streets have 6 foot tall new medians made of snow where there were no medians before and are down to one lane. They can't find any more places to put the snow. This stuff is never going to melt.  :undecided:
