That's not a lot of snow. Not sure what the big deal is.

When the wind starts blowing at 20+ mph, things get much worse in a hurry. Visibility drops, the roads get a nice buff job of ice, and the snow drifts.

I live in upstate ny. If it isn't 4+ feet in one night it isn't worth mentioning.

I was thinking the same thing... 10 to 16 inches gets a thread stickied? Around here, it gets children to think "there's a *slight* chance school might be closed tomorrow."

We got a nice amount of snow here in Northern New Mexico ~ roughly 3.5 feet of very very dense snow. It's not fluffy at all and the grains look like miniature hail. We have been hanging out at the house since we are rural and our road is still covered.

Denver recorded a 70 degree day last february. It's not a city that is setup to get snows like this. CDOT has 80 plows across the entire state that dwafs NY.

It is mountain weather around Denver, they should be prepared for SIX FOOT snowfalls!

Denver is on the high plains outside of the Rocky mountains. Since 1900 it has had 5 blizzards over 20 inches. To spend the money on big snow removal equipment would be a massive waste of tax money. Learn about climates, histories and proper tax spending before you open the cake hole.

I lived in upstate NY and never seen 4' of snow in a night. All i see is a few inches a day every day of the winter until I go insane from lack of sunshine.

Im flying out to Denver tomorrow from Phila. Looks like a good day for flying. Thankfully, I got out of Denver on the Monday before the big storm that locked down DIA for 3-4 days.

haha I love this, I live in central ontario and there is no snow ANYWHERE but everywhere around ontario is getting dumped on.

I wonder what they would do if the 49ers can't make it to Denver to beat up on the Broncos before those donkeys clean out their lockers for the year?

Are those lockers cleaned out yet, Broncos' fans?
