Not a good day to take the Vette out. Not a good day to take anything out -Pics-
Spring in Colo. is great except when this happens.
Looking down my street.
A pic of the of back-yard.
Taught the wife's St. Bernard to write his name in the snow.
And my patio cover or whats left it. There was 2-3 ft. of snow on top already when one of the pine trees snapped and hammered it. The spookey thing is that the wife was just getting ready to step outside under the patio-cover before it happened.
Snow melts and things can be repaired. At least no one got hurt or killed.

wow.. can't believe what's happening out there in Colorado with the snow especially in the higher elevation areas. We got hit in NJ/NY with about 20-22" 3 weeks ago and it's finally all gone. Best of luck with the cleanup & be careful. I had my Vette out Sunday in NJ... temp. was in the 60's!

I saw that on the news. It's been over 10 years since we have had a storm like that. There is one good thing. At least it happened in March and it will be gone soon. Our last really big one happened on Halloween and didn't melt for 6 months. I heard some areas in the mountains there got 7 feet. Unreal.

Damn Zoom, that’s harsh.
I’ve got a drift of over 3 feet on my garage roof, I hope it holds up.
Wish you the best on the patio repair.

March is one of out wettest months for snow-- but damn.
One good thing the snow blower didn't get crushed. It was sitting underneath but towards the front where the supports are still up.

We got some of that stuff in Arvada, too! Luckily so far we've only got a few damaged trees... and it was a good day to bring the snowboard out on my front lawn!

Looks like a good day to just sit home and watch some TV. Maybe take a good long nap or something. Nothing wrong with days like that. :yesnod: (Of course I like a good snow storm once in awhile) We haven't hardly had any snow this winter, which is kind of odd. We probably only had 8 inches all winter.

Wow, glad no one was hurt when the patio roof collapsed. You guys can keep that white stuff, but right now we've had continual rain for the past few days and I'm about to mold. :lol:

Glad no one was hurt. I have friends in Colorado, they're telling me that moisture is desperately needed, so maybe it's not all bad. Hang in there, it won't be long. :lurk:

Maybe this will help out with the drought you folks have been having. I was out there in Nov. around the Ridgeway area elk hunting and the drought was everbody's concern.
