We got 12 inches of very wet snow last night. Most of it fell between the hours of 3:30 to 11:00 pm. Before that we had two hours of rain, so shoveling the driveway and sidewalk this morning was back-breaking. I've never seen this much water underneath the snow. The intense Colorado sun is already turning much of the snow to slush. Imagine shoveling 12 inches of slushy. Not fun.
The power went off a few times last night. I'm not sure why, since most of our power cables are underground here. Maybe they had to break the circuits to help Denver? Their snowfall was not as wet or as much, but their power lines are mostly above ground down there. Caitlin was not a happy camper about the power going out. I was unprepared for the waterworks, so all our candles are still out on the coffee table. I couldn't risk not having them *right there* should we have another horrific 5 minute outage. Amazing enough, the satellite dish did not go out. Maybe that recent visit Directv made out here made a difference? One can only hope. When you're trapped inside your house, not having TV is a sad, sad thing!
