    Depending on where you live, you already have the 2 ft, you're getting close to the 2 ft, or you're wishing it was only 2 darn feet.

    Friend lives above Coal Creek Canyon, on the Golden Gate Canyon side, he's cleared his main driveway, about 200 yds, 6 times in the last 24 hrs with the plow, and the concrete apron to his garage 6x with the snow blower. From his personal driveway to the state road is another 1/4 mile, he's cleared that 3x with the tractor, the trees block much of it.

    For the first time, I feel like I have something to contribute to this thread. The answer to the question is, you sit in your truck and eat and waste time on the internet.

    It's so light in Aurora that the missus just called and was thinking about going out to get something later.

    It stopped too early up here in Cheyenne. I mean, it's still coming down, but the drifts don't go much above my knees. Where's the 3 feet of snow I was promised? And the 60 mph gusts? Wind hasn't gotten above 30 mph, gusts haven't gotten much above 35 mph. I've seen a few blizzards in my life, and this one is kind of disappointing.
