Colorado Blizzard
 

I am sure that some of you in warmer and lower elevation climes will get a real kick out of this. I am at 8,000 feet just west of Denver in Evergreen. Look at the depth of snow above the rub rail vs the freeboard of my 35' Cigarette! This is as of 5:00PM today, 3-18-03, and the forecast is for this much more by this time tomorrow. It started snowing at this time yesterday. If you are skiing Colorado this week, you had better already be here! Bob.

Here is one more picture.

your going to wind up waiting till july to get that boat out!

WOW,

I called one of my vendors about 3 eastern today "Gates Rubber" in Denver and got a voice mail"Closed due to Weather".

This explains it.

Hang in there!

The scary part would have been if anyone answered the phone! This is just brutal.

great:(
probably headed my way:eek:
knew the weather here lately was to good to be true.

Another Colorado snow pic
 

It's just like Colorado weather, we had a high in the mid 70s (I had the air on...) on Saturday. Should be back up to 50 by this Saturday. I hope we can be boating by April.........

Ren - I was there at Breck this time last year !!!! Skiing was GREAT !!!! Wish I could have made it back this year. Wardey

One of my trucks just said the roads were shut down 70 miles east of Denver. His delivery in Aurora is closed till friday. I guess they'll need some time to dig themselves out!

i was watching the weather channel about this storm....they were predicting 3-6'....yea i said FEET!! in some areas!!! :eek: I dont think i have ever heard a prediction that they talked in feet!!!

My boss is stuck in steamboat right now trying to get back... he was supposed to leave yesterday, but... well... didnt... hahaa.... he is stuck there until ???

I live in Conifer, Co, which is just South of Evergreen. We are at the 9,000 foot level. I’m on the road right now, but my neighbor said that we have had 6 feet of snow at home, and it’s still snowing. I’m not sure how I’m going to get up the driveway. It will be interesting.

Troutfly, why would someone Not want to own a boat! I may not get out of the driveway, but I also dream about beautiful women. I will take my chances even with this damn weather. We need the moisture badly, but what a hassle. The power was off from 3:00AM today until I hauled a quarter cord of wood up onto the deck by 4:00PM, and then the power came back on. I shoveled six feet of snow off the deck of my Cigarette! I took one more picture before, and there is an Audi Quattro and an Excursion with safari rack on top in the photo. Good luck finding them. We have as of now 75-80" of snow in the last 48 hours, and it is ending!

This may be a pisser to ya' but I got sunburned in my boat yesterday. 82 degrees in Mississippi. Don't tell the Canadians.

Boat good. Snow bad.

Ren3,

Incredible!!!! I`ve lived up north my entire life and have never experienced that much snow all at once!:eek: How about a few more pics???

PS, your Cig looks GREAT! How long of a tow to lake Powell?

Kurt.

Ren3 - Your killing me......I'll trade with you for a few !!! I was on the boat all day today, 80's but water was rough. Man, I would love to get in some CO snow......Wardey
