only 5 inches and it was warm today, nothing really to report here.  glad to be out of the thick of it this time.

Back in '82 before the TurboGrafx-16 was released it snowed 4 feet in Denver and the mayor never bothered to send out the plows until it was too late. That was fun times. No mayor wants to make the same mistake so you'll see plows out in flurries here now.

I wish I could have seen that Joe!  Unfortunately I wasnt alive.  I do seem to remember growing up some big blizzard in 93 or so where we got some 30" or so in the Denver metro area.  Actually got a snow day on that one.

we wound up getting just under two feet. nothing major.

I have lived through two awful storms.  The first was in 2000 where we got around 9 feet of snow in 24 hours.  The second was the "October Surprise" in 2006 where we got about 5 feet of snow in 12 hours.  The October storm was the worst because the leave were still on the trees and the show was heavy, so all the trees in the area came down and destroyed houses, roads, and power lines.

The positive to those two freak storms happening is that now when we get a foot of snow, it isn't a big deal anymore.
