I measured 16" in my driveway in Centennial, but drifting much higher of course. Still coming down steadily. I'm a green dude so no snow blower for me. What I noticed while shoveling is that this stuff seems super heavy, even for March norms, and stuck to my shovel like Elmer's Glue at times. Lots of moisture. Good workout!! :bicep:

In addition to shoveling don't forget to try to knock the snow off the branches of the trees on or near your premises.

Spent a couple more hours running the snowblower (I do the neighbor's walks too). Probably 10 more inches since this morning. Measured 21" on the tonneau cover of my pickup. NE Loveland near Boyd Lake SP.

It was late to start but pretty solid now, I measured about 18" on my railing (highly scientific) in JeffCo. Still falling steadily! Nice to see it, even if it sinks my plans to get another snowflake since I was going to get out Tuesday and it'll be snowing then too per forecasts. Worth it for the moisture!

I70 East is closed between the tunnel & C470. Not as much snow in Summit, definitely more of a foothills storm

Got about 2 feet at Pine Junction. Seems like it's done now, but got a good dumping. Enough my dog felt that peeing on the deck I shoveled was more convenient than fighting through the snow :roll:

The news guy told me that 16 inches of snow fell, but that the first 14 inches melted, so when I looked outside and saw 2 inches of snow, I was totally denying science when I told my friends that we got 2 inches of snow.

There are a number of youtubes of dogs shoveling snow. I am going to have to get one of them.

Lots of drifting snow just south of Castle Rock. Got around 19” with drifts up to 4ft. Skijoring with the wife and the ponies is on for tomorrow!

Let it be noted in the records I did make it to the coffee shop at the end of the street. They were open!
