I live at 9000ft in the Sab Juan's of SW Colorado. We rarely get big snows and normally 4-5 ft for the whole winter, but.....
Just ask Big Alferd Packer http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/history/alfred_packer/ Sometimes the snow is so deep here and you get so hungry......
Today's is probably the heaviest in the 10 years I've been here.
Sab is short for Kemosabe, one of those new Catholic hemi-demi-semi deities.
