A White Christmas, After All

Although a week ago there was so much snow that the whole state of Colorado got shut down, including the Denver airport for two days, most of the snow in Pueblo was gone by the time we got here. Yesterday, the “4th day of Christmas”, the snow hit again. Jeff was scheduled to fly out of Denver about 6:30 p.m., but with the new storm coming, no one was sure whether the planes would be flying. He hung around as long as he could without getting a definite answer, so he drove up there in the afternoon without knowing. The newspaper today says 180 flights were cancelled yesterday, but we think he was able to get out of town. At least he got out of Pueblo and up to Denver before the roads got bad.


Abbie and Rachel went shopping just as the snow started falling. Any chance the two are related?





There’s not as much snow this time, but it’s going to spread out over a long period of time (until Sunday, perhaps) and it will be colder this time around. The problem is not the amount of snow, but the icy conditions, as the temperatures will get down to close to 0ºF (-15ºC) in the next few days. I took a few pictures to remember the snow by.
