I of course had to work because lawyers feel their work is life and death, so I was in the office for 6 hours yesterday, then took the 3 hour ride (usually 20 min) home to work another few hours....
Last time we had a blizzard this big was March of 02, and it was heavy wet snow. I was out of power for 4 days, but not the case this time, this is champaign powder, feels like feathers.
I am having to work from home...however I am not complaining, much...I am still home with my family and my two home from college!
Here is a national exerpt on our predicament;
DENVER (AP) -- The Denver area was motionless for a second day Thursday. City streets were empty, nothing moved at the airport but the thousands of stranded travelers, long stretches of highway were impassable, even the mail couldn't get through after a powerful blizzard dumped 2 feet of snow on the region.
Some 4,700 people hunkered down with her overnight at Denver International Airport after all flights there were canceled. The runways weren't likely to reopen until Thursday night, airport spokesman Steve Snyder said.
More than 30 inches of snow fell in the mountains, and up to 2 feet fell in the Denver metro area Wednesday and early Thursday.
Gov. Bill Owens declared a state of emergency and activated the National Guard, which assisted dozens of motorists on the highways around Denver and delivered diapers, formula and bottled water to the airport.
Long stretches of Interstates 70 and 25, the main east-west and north-south routes through the Mountain West, were closed. Interstate 76 was closed from Denver to Nebraska.
Oh..and it is still snowing....
