No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

 

Prior to the expected storm, I relocated my truck to make it easier for the snow plow operators.

The snow was still wet and heavy so I was able to clear the driver side rear enough to get out. Later, when it freezes, it would be a real challenge. Too bad I didn’t have someone to video this obese 76 year old body climbing in from the passenger side. YouTube material.

Now the truck is parked in a spot the #%&$*$’s will have to work around. With less snow expected, I should be ok tomorrow.

I really don’t want to go anywhere today.

Perfect Storm

Nasty weather the past few days with 50 mph winds yesterday afternoon. The adults dig out while the kids on Thanksgiving break enjoy themselves. A perfect storm with perfect timing for them.








For adults, not so much fun.





We should have a two to three day window of  decent weather until the next system rolls in.

Wyoming was shut down for two days and is just now digging out.

Nebraska didn't escape. See Prairie Adventure.

The shuttle bus route I quit at the end of October was closed yesterday (CO 292, CO14, CO77). So glad I'm not out driving in this weather. I've been a licensed driver now for 61 years. There isn't many road conditions I haven't seen. Maybe Musk Oxen migrations is still on the list.
