Hunkered down. Monitoring the HAM radio; cars abandoned across the city. No damage, no outages. Thanks.

28 degrees and clear sky in the NW part of Wyoming. I left Cheyenne yesterday at noon and had to turn on the A/C for part of the drive north.

I work from home so not a big deal. I plow a private road a few houses up from me as I am friends with the folks who live on it. Between 9 am - 1 pm we were getting 2 inches per hour. If I wasn't out plowing in it I wouldn't have believed it. I plowed my driveway, then the private road, then my neighbor's driveway. Came home to 3 inches...I was gone just over an hour.

Then you’re not in it. Panhandle Nebraska rancher (on the Weather Channel) hadn’t seen anything like this in 30 years. I’ve seen a few winters myself, not in any way “typical March.”

quote:
This is a very epic cyclone,” said Greg Carbin, chief of forecast operations for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Weather Prediction Center. “We’re looking at something that will go down in the history books.”...

The culprit was a sudden and severe drop in ground-level air pressure in Colorado, the most pronounced dive since 1950, Carbin said. It was caused by a combination of the jet stream and normal conditions in the wind shadow of the Rockies.

Then there was your “typical” 100 vehicle crash on I-25 north of Wellington, CO.

When we get storms in CO your exact proximity has a pretty major role in how bad you get it. We have a lot of terrain and elevation changes and it affects where the storms go and how much snow we get. We got snow all day and strong winds but only managed maybe 8-10" of wet stuff. My wife's boss down in Monument, 20-30 mins south of us has 5ft snow drifts and can't leave his neighborhood. We're on a plow route and our roads are basically clear.

Point of the Mountain or Pioneer Crossing?

1200 East in Lehi. At one point there were 19 vehicles, 3 police cars, 2 tow trucks and an ambulance down there with me.


Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice.
