Just sayin'.
I live north of Denver suburbs. Just as in any other city, some areas will get hit with more snow while others are less. Our housing area is in a bowl down by a lake and we typically get 10 to 20 percent more snow that an area just five miles over. Add blowing snow to the snow fall and we got a lot in our housing complex.
However, you are correct it was Dec 2006 not early 2007 like I was thinking.
I lived in Denver during that 1982 one. From people posting that Denver does a great job with snow removal, they must have improved a lot since that storm. It was shut down until if melted - which wasn’t too long iirc.
