Blizzard threatens to bury Colorado, Plains

[gldstwmn]

DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- Heavy snow blew across Colorado on Wednesday, canceling hundreds of airline flights and shutting down a major highway, as a winter storm plowed onto the Plains after pummeling New Mexico.

The National Weather Service posted blizzard warnings for most of eastern Colorado and adjoining sections of Nebraska and Kansas.

Up to 5 inches of snow had fallen by the morning rush hour in the Denver area. Two feet of snow was possible in the foothills just west of Denver, with 2 to 3 feet a possibility farther north. Up to 20 inches could accumulate on the Plains of eastern Colorado. Wind up to 30 mph could pile the snow into high drifts.

United Airlines, the busiest carrier at Denver International Airport, canceled more than 630 flights for the rest of the day, and Frontier Airlines planned to cancel up to 40 afternoon flights, representatives said.

"This is a step that we need to take because of what Mother Nature is throwing at us," said United spokesman Jeff Kovick.

Eastbound Interstate 70 was closed for 90 miles from Limon to the Kansas line and police shut down about 60 miles of westbound I-70 from Colby, Kansas, to Burlington, Colorado. Travelers stalled by the closures starting filling Kansas motels during the morning, said Stan Whitley, a spokesman for the state Department of Transportation.

Dozens of schools were closed in eastern Colorado and northwest Kansas, along with many courthouses in eastern Colorado.

The lumbering storm dropped more than a foot of snow in the state's southwestern mountains Tuesday, with 19 inches at the Wolf Creek ski area and 17 at Durango Mountain Resort.

"We've been waiting for a big storm to hit, so this was the best early Christmas present," Durango Mountain Resort spokeswoman Loryn Kasten said.

The broad storm also spread rain across parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska on Wednesday, with snow in western Kansas and Nebraska, where police reported vehicles sliding off I-80 in the Nebraska Panhandle. Ice accumulating on branches and power lines also caused power outages in the area.

The storm rolled into Colorado from New Mexico, where roads around the state were still snowpacked and icy Wednesday. Numerous schools opened late or remained closed.

Up to a foot of snow fell at higher elevations of northwest and west-central New Mexico on Tuesday, and snow and sleet closed sections of I-40 across eastern New Mexico and in the Texas Panhandle.

Albuquerque International airport was closed for several hours Tuesday as snow covered runways.

^ Well, I guess you're OK since you're posting this. :D How's everyone else? Dee? Wait, you're with your fam. But wait, NM is affected too.....

[irishgrl]

Well, Deanna, looks like you dodged another bullet!

[DavidMn]

It's coming this way. We're supopsed to get about 10 inches tomorrow and Friday.

[sara1998]

I would love to be there for Christmas.... We're not getting any snow for Christmas. I sure hope you and Deanna stay safe. Be careful out there.

[DavidMn]

I would love to be there for Christmas.... We're not getting any snow for Christmas. I sure hope you and Deanna stay safe. Be careful out there.It's Minnesota. I'd expect nothing less!:thumbsup:

[estranged4life]

Nothing here...Oklahoma had a chance of a White Christmas, but the storm system for this upcoming weekend will pass to the South.

As for the current weather, it is sunny outside, but rather cold with the dry air front passing through.

[sara1998]

It's Minnesota. I'd expect nothing less!:thumbsup:

I meant Colorado.

[skcin]

I would love to be there for Christmas.... We're not getting any snow for Christmas. I sure hope you and Deanna stay safe. Be careful out there.

We aren't either. No snow in Buffalo? WTF?!?!

[sara1998]

We aren't either. No snow in Buffalo? WTF?!?!

Well, in Indiana, you kind of take a white Christmas for granted. I miss it when we don't have one.

[DavidMn]

I meant Colorado.Oops. well, same weather, different state.:lol:

[gldstwmn]

I would love to be there for Christmas.... We're not getting any snow for Christmas. I sure hope you and Deanna stay safe. Be careful out there.

Thanks. I was supposed to take my nephew to the airport tonight but it's closed and his flight is cancelled. Everything else is pretty much closed. It's snowing sideways. My house is stocked so no worries there. My neighbor came over and plowed out the driveway this morning with his mini snow plow thingie. It's all covered up again. I might sneak out before it gets too dark and take a few pictures.

I might sneak out before it gets too dark and take a few pictures. I would love to see some snowpics...if you would share. :xoxo:

[sara1998]

Aw, Chris, I'm green with envy! Thanks for the pics. I will look at them Christmas morning, and pretend that's my front door.


... If you have rum for that egg nog, I'll be there soon! :laugh: Hell, I'll bring the rum!

[gldstwmn]

That's Yoshi. He did sink one precious paw into the snow and that was that. :laugh:

I'll take some more pictures in the morning. I'd be glad to send some snow your way. It's only pretty until you have to start shoveling it. :laugh: Last time I looked, it appeared to be about knee high. I'm almost afraid to look out there now.

[strandinthewind]

Who can blame him!!!!!!!!!!

I am happy you have power BTW!

So am I. I was worried we might have problems because of the wind but so far it has been okay. I have a closing in Vegas tomorrow and obviously I have to be there via phone. So here's to everything working. :laugh:

[DrummerDeanna]

Well, Deanna, looks like you dodged another bullet!

Yup! I was originally going to leave Colorado today - but saw the weather stuff -so glad I left yesterday - I missed it in Colorado - but still got some of it in NM...it was beautiful but a pain to drive in...

I"m now in Southern NM where there is NO weather going on whatsoever...which is actually fine by me...

[GardenStateGirlie]

well, i think it's safe to say the north east will not be having a white christmas. in fact, the past two evenings have been the coldest that we've had in a while -- 36 degrees. i miss the white stuff though but i'm guessing we'll get it around february and march. stay warm and enjoy it! it looks gorgeous.

I'd love to roll around in that snow! I can not wait until tahoe...and maybe it will get cold enough at night to have snow by my mountain place...I love to crank up the 4x and pull neighbors to safety.

[gldstwmn]

Chris - that's so weird, your pics look like they could have been taken in my neighborhood. Well, any other year except this one. :rolleyes:

Yeah. This neighborhood was built mostly in the 50's with the exception of some of the Tudors and Victorians. The Tudor across the street is my favorite house on the block. It went on the market right after I purchased mine. :( It has fireplaces and I miss those this time of year.

[hayley]

Oh, those are awesome pictures. I love snow like that.

Well, I normally love snow like that. However, I am going to be TOTALLY screwed trying to make it home for Christmas. I have to drive from Chicago to Kansas City, and was planning on driving five hours from here to Des Moines tomorrow night, then the last three or four hours home on Saturday morning. Of course the snow's going to be awful in Iowa right as I'm leaving, and I think it'll take about seven or eight hours to get there.

Oh well. It'll be pretty.

[BTFLCHLD]

So... where's that snow angel???:D It may be too cold...but Chris' pics make me want to roll around in it... :D I'd love to wrestle...have snow stuffd up my shirt and down my pants! call me crazy! :]

Still snowing...

There's a lot of people around here who could probably use that right now. I watched the ten o'clock news last night and they had just finished getting everyone off the Boulder turnpike including a group who had been stuck in traffic on an RTD bus since about noon. I really feel for the people that are stuck at the airport.

[gldstwmn]

So... where's that snow angel???:D

Don't you worry. I'll be out there later, if only to dig a path to my trash cans. :laugh:

Denver braces for another blizzard

DENVER, Colorado (CNN) -- First Christmas weekend. Now New Year's.

Denver is bracing for another blizzard beginning Thursday, with up to two feet of snow expected -- a possible damper on New Year's weekend travel plans.

The National Weather Center issued a winter storm watch for Thursday afternoon into Friday afternoon.

Denver International Airport is prepared for the worst, a spokesman said.

"The forecasts say anything from three inches to -- that's the best case -- up to 20 inches, which is worst case," spokesman Chuck Cannon said.

"So you kind of have to deal with it as it comes, but we need to make sure everyone is prepared for the worst case, and we'll try to deal with that."

Last week, a two-day blizzard stranded thousands of people at the airport as they were trying to travel for the Christmas holiday, one of the busiest travel times of the year.

More than 3,000 incoming flights were canceled or diverted during the 45-hour shutdown in Denver, The Associated Press reported. At the peak of its closure, 4,700 travelers were marooned at the airport, according to AP, and the delays rippled across the country.

Denver International Airport fully reopened on Saturday.

[skcin]

Man, it's like Buffalo gave Denver the gift of snow for Christmas. :shrug: We have nothing on the ground right now.

be safe & careful, ok?

[mikeschmike]

Man, it's like Buffalo gave Denver the gift of snow for Christmas. :shrug: We have nothing on the ground right now.

There's nothing here either. It snowed a bit last week, but it melted away by Christmas. Very very odd for this frozen tundra of a state.

Maybe Gore was right?! :shocked:

I never doubted the global warming theory, but now it's scaring me more & more. Too many extremes in the weather & natural disasters over the last few years. :shocked:

[gldstwmn]

be safe & careful, ok?

I will. I have to drive my nephew to the airport tonight so he can catch his flight that was cancelled a week ago.
I'm going to spend part of the afternoon chopping up the ice and slush at the end of my driveway so that it doesn't get covered and freeze over again. That will be hell.
Can you believe I still have Christmas presents floating around on a FedEx truck somewhere? And my water delivery is only a week late.
I have this candle in my office that smells like the beach and I keep burning it and imagining I'm there. :lol:

[DrummerDeanna]

Ok I seriously felt like weeping when I heard the news of MORE snow - there is so much on the ground right now!

I just got back last night and am still in awe - two years in Rochester and I NEVER saw this much snow...it's crazy....and now more :distress:

Shoulda kept my ass in Rochester where they say they haven't seen a drop of snow since October :laugh:

[estranged4life]

What a bummer. I have a friend who just moved there - 2 days before xmas. Still hasn't gotten her furniture delivered. And she is planning on flying out to LA friday for NYE. Damn.

Aww...is that the friend who moved from Las Cruces (where it's sunny and in the 60s)? :p

Ugh, I'm just now reading through some of the AP Wire stuff about the weather...and it does look like tomorrow and Friday could be very ugly :mad:

Yeah. It is. Her entire move has been a disaster from day one. Everything that could have gone wrong has gone wrong. Moving van in a ditch twice. So all the stuff went into storage. Fly by night locals moved one load to her house and disappeared without getting paid. Can't get phone hooked up. I could go on.

On the bright side, her neighbors brought her baked goods, a scrabble game, a few bottles of wine, and loaned her towels and a snow shovel. So that's pretty cool.

If she hired movers from Las Cruces then that news does not surprise me one bit...seriously :laugh:

Poor thing though, moves are stressful enough - but to have so much go bad...that's just hell...hope she makes it out your way NYE...they should have the airport re-opened by then...

[gldstwmn]

Can't get phone hooked up.


Let me guess. The service provider is Qwest? Tell her to call Comcast and save herself a lot of headaches.

[sara1998]

Deanna and Chris, please be careful. Stock up on bread, milk, and liquor. Sounds like you're going to need it. Don't hurt yourself shoveling, and please be careful driving. Here's hoping for only 3 inches!

[DrummerDeanna]

Deanna and Chris, please be careful. Stock up on bread, milk, and liquor. Sounds like you're going to need it. Don't hurt yourself shoveling, and please be careful driving. Here's hoping for only 3 inches!

Thanks...that's good advice, I need all things you mentioned...hadn't even thought of stopping at the store....but will probably now after work...to also pick up firewood!!!

I don't have to shovel, luckily...my apartment complex does all that for us - but the driving part is a bitch...I'm also hoping the snow that comes is on the lowest end of the spectrum...

[sara1998]

Hey, Chris... if you get blizzard snow, take more pics of your yard. It's bad now, I'm dying to see it if you get another 20 inches! I've never seen as much snow as you have now, let alone another blizzard on top of it!

[gldstwmn]

Deanna and Chris, please be careful. Stock up on bread, milk, and liquor. Sounds like you're going to need it. Don't hurt yourself shoveling, and please be careful driving. Here's hoping for only 3 inches!

I'll pass on the liquor but at this point I could use some valium. :laugh: I just came back from chopping up the ice and more shoveling in the driveway. I hope this storm misses us.

[sara1998]

There's no snow here, and I have nothing better to do either, if it makes you feel any better. I'm bored to tears.

[DavidMn]

I heard there's another big one on the way for Colorado this weekend.

[DrummerDeanna]

Well couldn't stock up on bread...there was NONE at the store. I went to two stores. No bread. Next to no produce :( I did get milk lol...

I also got lots of fire wood :D

[SuzeQuze]

[DrummerDeanna]

Wow, no bread? That must've been really weird. Although I think I remember encountering that here just before a storm. I hope you don't get too much snow!

It was weird - the produce section was empty, the bread area was empty...I was shocked that there was a full case of milk...but there was. It was just weird - and the lines were awful...but now I've got everything - I can just stay home this weekend...I'm just praying the power stays on...

[GardenStateGirlie]

stay warm and safe, guys!

my uncle is supposed to leave tomorrow to go to vegas for the weekend. i'm thinking he's going to have some trouble getting out there :nod:

[DrummerDeanna]

I already had some liquor in my fridge :laugh: Just a six pack of those Smirnoff Ice things....

It's ugly out there. Still - I made it to work...pretty much there are only 5 of us who made it in today - no one else could get here....I think Denver got it worse if I'm not mistaken - but we got it pretty bad too....and of COURSE this is when Clancy ends up getting the runs :mad:

[DrummerDeanna]

Ouch. It sucks cleaning up runny dog****.:laugh:

Well she only had one carpet accident at home - and it looks like it was maybe the first round - not as runny and thankfully it didn't soak into the carpet at all...

She saved the really messy accident for the bathroom...clever girl. That one was gross but easy to clean up...poor thing.

I took her food away and am changing her feed tonight...I think a big part of it is the dog food...I wish I could have stayed home with her today - but she seemed to be fine by the I left for work.

[SuzeQuze]

That's because the milk will go bad if you lose power. Hope you never do. :xoxo:

I'll post some more pics in the morning. I had to have someone come pick me up in a 4 wheel drive this morning to go to closing and drive me over to FedEx to pick up a some checks that were overnighted to me and then to the bank. FedEx wouldn't come to any residences today and didn't open today. The slogan on their envelope says "The World On Time" and I thought "Not if it snows." :laugh:

It's postcard pretty outside. The temperature is 25 degrees today so there will be no melting today. It should make it a little easier to drive though. And I am getting out of here today in my own car. I've got cabin fever.

It looks so beautiful, Chris.

I wish we had some snow, but it's 52 degrees here today and is supposed to stay that way all week. :distress:

Be careful driving. The pics are great. I'd love to spend the weekend in it.
Now I am inspired. I think I'll drive up into the woods and see some snow.

The sun is actually peaking out right now...but yeah, it's in the 20s. This stuff is going to be around for a loooong time. Right now it's pretty and it's too deep even for the apartment kids to play around in - so it's nice and peaceful around here. I love it.

I'm staying home all weekend - have a fire in the fireplace..it's lovely.

I moved around a lot. I went and did all of my errands and just got back from my Bikram yoga class. A lot of people are out and about. If you're careful with the driving, you'll be okay.

I will be careful driving. I got to the corner of the major street by my house, stopped to get gas and realized my tire was losing air. Fortunately, there is a tire place right across the street. Half the neighborhood was there getting some type of tire repair. I saw a couple of guys tooling around on a snowmobile while I was out.:laugh:
