Oh, it's NOT good in Colorado Springs right now... 15-20,000 households without power - quite a lot of snow. Was that the October '97 storm you're referring to, Colette? That was really a bad one. I've just got four foot drifts here, a bit east of the Springs. They CLOSED Schriever AFB. Not just non-mission essential personnel, the essential ones too! Nice, I didn't have to take a vacation day, because I sure wasn't going to go out when the visibility was zero. The nice part is, like has been mentioned: By tomorrow afternoon the snow should be gone, and the weekend is expected to be beautiful. FWIW, fourteen years ago when I was transferred here from the South, I cried and cried..."But, it SNOWS in Colorado, waaaahh..." Thing is, I'm still here, by choice. Not having to mess with fleas and mosquitoes is a big draw for me.
