unexpected
Women, minorities, children most affected...
Trump’s fault
Al Sharpton to hold a news conference to proclaim snow white privilege.
Just for the record, this is not my fault.
That’s a cool link with links to all the traffic cameras in the state.
Californication Temporarily Suspended...
I’m waiting on the western slope for Berthoud Pass to reopen. Need to get to Denver today, ugh.
I-80 is also close due to a mudslide in the Sierra Navadas
privatize all interstates
let the free market work its magic
highway socialism doesn’t work
And I80 closed from Colfax to the Nevada state line in both directions due to zero visibility and a full-on blizzard.
Snowing 3in per hour and wind over 50MPH.
Even the Union Pacific rail line from Reno to Sacramento is closed due to washouts.
Highway 50 closed above Sacramento to Lake Tahoe due to blizzard and avalanche warnings.
And it’s all coming YOUR way...
Global warming...
Sigh. 1-70 is getting to be a typical score against the Avalanche this season. Go Avs, get em next time....
Oh? Sorry... wrong thread.
Global Warming will be blamed, I assume.
Whoa!!!
That’s going to make the commute to and from Fredrick a nightmare!
Oh wait....
Gee, I hope Moochie wasn’t on a skiing trip.
UPDATE: ADD GEORGETOWN!
