Lotsa snow comin', order pizza, keep warm. The latest forecast for the mega blizzard coming Monday from Canadian meteorologist Frankie MacDonald. Has to be seen and heard to be believed
Massa-choosez will find a way to tax it.
I heard we’re only getting 2-3 inches. It will be gone in a couple of days.
With all this snow I would not doubt that there was an avalanche at Loveland Pass, but have not been watching local news. I am about 15 miles NE of Winter Park, but on the other side of the continental divide. I will post to you if I hear anything.
Here is the snow total for many areas in the 2003 March Storm. I am in Gilpin County so you can see how hard we got hit.

People who pronounce it “Massa-too-sits”:
—Barack Obama
—Hardy Har Har (Hanna Barbera character)
—Frankie MacDonald
And some say “Massa-two-(bleeps)”.
Talk host Jeff Kuhner calls it Marxachusetts
That is a really good idea.

Damn that GlowBull warming.
I’m about 10miles south of boston and we are getting snow. Not that much.
6 to 10in. maybe a foot of very wet,heavy snow.Windy. 45 to 60mph.
I just caught the Denver 850 KOA radio traffic report. They described the driving conditions as “Brutal”. Crashes all over. Did not hear anything about an avalanche at Loveland Pass, but a crash at Eisenhower Tunnel (Same Area) that sounded like it caused road closure for a time.
I will have to give his weather reports a look. Thanks.

Very funny-——and most real forecasters act like that.

That April Fools Day storm was in 1997.
Brutal————but gone quickly.

Wadda-i-no? I’m frum Brooklyn ...
As a transplant from just outside the snow belt in Upstate NY to MA, 12” does not a blizzard make. Get real. I, and my monster Ariens, will destroy 12” in less than 90 minutes. Bring it. The water table could use it....
Ya, misspelt the name of the Communistweal it is Massatwoshits.
Thanks for the info. Cannot raise my friends on their cell phone. Hopefully they hunkered down somewhere in front of a roaring fire.
Actually, it’s TAX-a-chew-sets
