Snowy Day

The Denver area was predicted to get "buried" in snow last night. We got at least a foot. If the winds pick up like they are predicted to, the roads could get very messy.

Snow in Denver

I woke up to see quite a bit of snow today, October 28, 2009. Right now it's 8:30 mountain time and there is about 5 or 6 inches on the ground of very heavy wet snow and it's still snowing. It's suppose to keep snowing until sometime Thursday. I'm so glad I topped off the bird feeders yesterday.



Here is an unusual sight - a junco on a bird feeder. They usually feed on the ground. This is the first time I have noticed them up on the feeder.

Blizzarding in Denver

Right at this moment, Denver is getting dumped on. It looks like there's at least 10 inches on top of the trash can lid and it's still coming down hard.

We haven't seen hardly any precipitation in such a long time that this is actually needed. We are having the driest winter on record. I just hope this isn't a another barn roof breaking blizzard like we had a few years go.
