Default Duck - Here comes Round 2

Susan,

How 'bout some pictures on ABPO. We're wondering what the white stuff looks
like. John must have some neat ones.

Denver is set for another major winter storm. We expect another foot
plus of snow. Two major storms within 7 days is almost unprecedented.
We are still trying to shovel out from the last one. Pot holes now
mean bare pavement where the ice has worn off the street; not a hole
in the pavement.

In the 30 plus years we have lived here the Neighborhood once paid to
have a contractor plow and the city did it once last week. We have
some idiot neighbors that are throwing the shoveled snow into the
street. They don't get that this is not a normal 2 day melt out. Our
normal snows are like a September 2" shower in the Midwest -- gone in
2 days except for the shadows on the north side of buildings. This is
deja-vu of Chicago winters I thought we had left behind.

Good luck in 2 days in St Louis... Although they say this one is going
to stall here - part of the reason we will get so much. Then the
second day we get more snow with 20 - 50 mile an hour winds to help
distribute it appropriately. Grin The tallest drifts across the
widest part of the drive and against front doors.
