Super Tuesday

Do to circumstances beyond our control my husband and I did not make it back home after coming to Denver to attend my sister's Super Bowl party Sunday. Yesterday they were forecasting icy rain out on the plains and since I slid off the road when conditions were icy once before I talked my husband into staying another day. This morning we woke up and found this Severe Weather Alert issued by the National Weather Service:
