Blizzard...

So all winter long we have barely had a winter here. Barely any snow fall and the weather has been great as well. It has had it's cold days but certainly not like Wisconsin or any where else has had it's snow days or cold days for that matter. I have thouroughly enjoyed sitting back and hearing the news reports about Wisconsin and knowing that I wasn't there! People always say it's colder in Denver, I beg to disagree! Anyways, every time there is snow coming people freak out because of the snowfall from 2006, they also always predict that we are going to get way more than we do. So yesterday morning they had blizzard warnings out, schools were closed, businesses were closed, and for the first time since I have lived here I actually saw plow trucks out driving around! It was amazing. I still had to be at work however so I went in to work, in a basement with no windows. So if a blizzard did come I would have no idea. Then the emails started about how they were setting up cots and blankets for those who had to stay. It was craziness. I left work early and so did Matt, but it took Matt over 2 hours to get home-normally it takes 45 min. The picture above is from the blizzard yesterday, I got it off one of our news channel websites.

It was just craziness. I think that we got about a foot of snow here in our part of denver, but I know that the foothills and mountains got a little bit more. I took the day off today though just to relax and have a mental health day, because I need one! The snow is looking beautiful today though and it is super bright outside! The snow is all sparkly and glittery and the sun is out and ready to melt what it can. That is the one thing that I love about the snow in Colorado, is I know it will always be gone within a few days, no matter how much we get!
