I'm in Arvada Co. This blizzard reminds me of the one back in '82. Anyone remember? I have a 96' Mustang outside, it's pretty much buried, I'm glad I remembered where I parked it.

To all those in the area, stay warm and stay safe.

 

Can't forget '82. all day saturday I was just watching out the window as the cars slowly got covered up. Sunday morning I started shovelling. The only thing I could see of the el camino and 510 were the antennea and the upper corners of the roofs.

 

I chained up the el camino and was out and about sunday afternoon. The bad thing were the bumps in the middle of the highway where the sand trucks dumped the salt/sand mixture stayed and froze where it was dropped.

 

That wouldn't have been so bad if the temps hadn't stayed in the single digits for 2 weeks.
