Christmas 2007 – 3″ of snow
Valentine’s Day 2008 – 2″ of snow
Saint Patrick’s Day 2008…

Five years ago today I am told there was a blizzard along the Colorado Front Range. Of course, I cannot verify this fact as I lived in Sunny California at the time and was busy attending UCSB. Interestingly enough, March 17th, 2003 was also a Monday, but I digress. This blizzard dumped some 3-feet (or nearly…again, cannot verify) on the Denver Metro Area.

Now, back to present day March 17th, 2008 we have had a Winter Storm Warning and a Heavy Snow Warning, both of which have been cancelled early with all the hype of our 6-10″ falling off the trees like the melting snow. I think we have received about 3″ so far. Props to Fox News for calling the 2-3″ accurately while everyone else kept upping the ante. Due to all the hype I decided that I did not want to drive in 6″+ of snow or on ice, so I dragged myself out of bed at dark:thirty to ride into town with Noah. Oh well, at least I got some quality reading in during the hour I sat in my cube prior to my workday commencing.

And for all those who were enjoying the spring like weather…HA!
