Sunday 02/22/15

Sunday 02/22 - The STORM has become a storm on the east side of the Continental Divide - The Denver side. While we had another 1 inch of snow, Denver and the surrounding area had 9-16 inches of snow. When I looked at the snow totals  in the mountains, Breckenridge had 6 inches as measured at the top of the mountain at 11,260 feet. However, the day became very cold and windy. The snow hasn't stopped the vacationers and Denver people from coming up the mountain. Our parking lot was full and we had cars lining up on the roadside. We even saw a car cargo truck parked outside. The sun that came out did little to warm the day. By mid afternoon, it started to snow a little, not much accumulation. After lunch, we travelled along the Dillon Dam road to get to Frisco and encountered blowing snow over the roadway. This roadway is usually closed due to this. Maybe tonight, the STORM will move west.
