We are looking at blizzard conditions out here on the plains. Went to bed last night with cold rain falling. Woke up in the middle of the night to heard hard pellets of sleet hitting the bedroom window. Woke up this morning to find 5-6 inches of snow on the ground and my porch. I had to push some it out of the way with the storm door when I let the dogs out. This storm has closed Interstate 70, between Denver, CO and Colby, KS. Two hundred thirty-four miles of road shutdown. The wind must be blowing badly for that to happen. The weather people say this thing could dump up to 24 inches of snow before it moves on and it is expected to sit over the area for the next 24 to 48 hours. Once the winds really start blowing here...
The good thing about this storm is that it is a wet and heavy snow that will produce plenty of moisture for the farmer and that we will have snow on the ground for Christmas. Color me gone. I going to go play in the snow.
