...and still falling.

Yesterday's blog photo measured 6" of snow; today we reached the 18" mark at our place.  The news folk reported this is the heaviest October snowfall in over ten years for the Denver area.  The snow is expected to stop around midnight tonight.

We've been enjoying it though, especially the kids getting out of school for two snow days in a row.  There has to be a lot of snow or ice on the roads for Colorado schools to shut down.  So it's definitely a treat.

It's hard to believe that it may completely melt away in a few more days when temps rise into the 50's.  That's Colorado weather for ya.  Never a dull forecast!

Here's a nice picture of a neighboring townhome with a decent slab of snow hanging from the roof.  Check out how deep the snow is against the patio fence.

And finally, here's the snow cave the kids worked hard on today.  So far it's large enough to fit one person...well, one very small person.


We're staying warm inside now with plenty of hot chocolate going around.  Anyone interested in coming out to ski or snowboard, I think it's gonna be a great year on the slopes!
