Ever wonder what you get when you mix 20"+ of pow with -20 degree temps, some elevation, a little dry air, and a sick day from work? After a long and dreadful 2 week long drought, Colorado finally got a delivery of the goods and the delivery was grande. Over 3′ dropped in some places amongst cold temperatures and a slow moving air mass.
Great beginning to a great day:
