Waking up in the middle of the night sucks. And I was surprised when I glanced out my window at 3am that I saw snow. The forecasts had called for an inch or two, and it looked like we got that. When I got up for real shortly before 7am, I headed out and plopped my foot in the snow. There was more than 2 inches. Try double that and change, 4.5 inches I measured at my place this morning. Very surprised to see such an amount. When I got downtown, it looked like between 1 and 2 inches. Checking the snow reports from around the area, Boulder hit 5 inches, Ken Caryl had 3.5", 3S of Golden had 4", Arvada came in at 3.5", and 5NW of Denver had 3.8". Little more snow than I think anyone had thought. Checking the discussion, apparently a pretty heavy band of snow moved north to south across the western suburbs and dumped the heavy snow in the short amount of time. When I was up in the middle of the night, I didn't notice any major snow falling, so my guess was between midnight and 3am when it all fell. I'll post this storm and its 4.5" in my log, but no pictures with it.
Also, I completed my off-season index page which will go up from September 1 through March 1. It basically allows visitors to visit other areas of my site which are better highlighted or more active in the calmer part of the year. It also puts more emphasis on my DVDs, video, and images as opposed to chasing. Since I update my winter and photo sections more this time of year, I thought I'd highlight those first. You may also notice my rotating images are different as well! The chasing index page is still online and can be
viewed here. I won't change back to that til March 1 regardless of whether or not I chase between those dates. Chasing is so infrequent during this time of year, its not a big deal.
