Blizzard, Denver, December 2006
The week before Christmas, 2006, we had a major blizzard here in Denver Colorado - 2 feet of snow in less than 24 hours. Additionally we had lots of wind to drift snow over the following two days. The city is surprisingly under-prepared for major snow storms, the city didn't get plows into our neighborhood for 2 days and even then just on a few major streets. We spent 3 days digging out, here are a few pictures.

Our backyard - you can see we had cleared the walk to the garage but it filled in again overnight.

Our VW campervan is in there somewhere!

Getting started on clearing the snow from the alley - the first pass was the toughest.
