Snow Day!

I got 12" at my house so far, how 'bout you?

Only 5" down here in the valley thus far, but it's coming down hard 'n' fast!

Yeah, you're a gifted, hard crankin' badass. But how much snow is on the ground?

You mean Pine is actually getting snow this year?
I'm getting pounded; I'm an upslope magnet

Shawn! Welcome back, where you been?

Yep, hard to believe but it's true! I heard Conifer is getting smacked around pretty good by this storm.

Hiya Mono!

In rough sequence: working to get ready for a trip, Outa town for a week, including a dismal but fun failure on Lunar X in Zion, Mom's 80th in Salt Lake, working and catch up, hiding from Mike McHugh for neurotic reasons, and developing a Facebook addiction...where I can spray at a crowd that is bigger and divided 50/50!

Do you ice climb or rock train when it gets cold?

BTW, there are about 6 inches in Broomfield.

Yay!
At least 20" in Nederland, still just dumping.
Shawn- I ski when it snows, duh!
Wait, why am I on the computer?

I have to put on snowshoes to check the propane & furnace -- all hail the pellet. March/April is early this year.

I think I'll start a LOTR marathon, the extendeds

Is it getting cold? Seems like conditions are finally getting good at Rifle :)

I climb on rock year round (with 2-4 week breaks to train). There's almost always someplace warm enought to climb, especially in Colorado.

Dude make sure you check out Samwise Gamgee's short film on the bonus DVD of "The Two Towers". Classic team work fable.

Mono,
since my climbing re-set, I'll have to look out for those warm crags!

Amy,
would you tell Rich I'm keeping his ledge safe, and for unknown reasons of flawed psychic wiring, haven't sent him a message to arrange the give-back? That is if you're not skiing? :)

Nasssttyyyy offwidthsss... we hates them!

That was a pretty sweet free solo of the Stairs of Cirith Ungol, I wonder if there is any 5th class climbing on that peak...

not to hijack (like anyone cares anyway); but I believe that actor was indeed a highly skilled climber that brought technical ability into the cgi character by way of those digital sensors on his body. Anyone??

Thanks for the post Mono.
I was curious this morning as to what the status was at my house in Idledale.
I sure hope the girls(my new tenants) bought a snow shovel.
If you care to post again later I would appreciate your updates from Morrison/ Bear Creek Canyon area .

mixed rain and snow, disappearing quickly. gotta love the desert.

I live off of N. Turkey Creek, so I probably have a bit more than Idledale, but I'll keep you posted nonetheless. I had to get out the yardstick for the latest measurement. Up to 14.5", still snowing hard.

Damn! I'm in overcast and rainy Illinois, and am psyched to get back to CO soon, but not for snow!! Come'on, where's it sunny?

Shaun,

No such thing as a failure in a climbing trip when you come back home in one piece. It's just giving you another opportunity to go back!

Cheers

Just got down from hiking on Pike's. It was like being in a snow globe.
