Correction -- Denver area blizzard warmings still in effect. Some southern CO areas have had there's dropped.
Hickenlooper wants a company or some individuals to DONATE sleds, so he can "sponsor" a sledding party, and apparently give the sleds away too. Interesting concept.
I could "sponsor" some great parties myself, if some rich corporation would just donate all the fixings. All you have to do is come up with the idea, right? It's someone else's responsibility to actually PAY for it.
Hickenlooper denies any knowledge that Denver might be a sanctuary city for illegal aliens too, don't forget. And he thinks building housing for homeless is a terrific solution too. Sleds and homes for everyone! And don't forget the hot chocolate. Ho ho ho.
A number of years ago, Colorado switched from salt to magnesium chloride. Truck drivers don't like it, because they said it's causing corrosion to the wiring and brakes on their trucks.
Here in Golden (Coors brewery location), we got 34 inches. Have been stranded from work. Have to get to Phoenix via Sacramento tomorrow. Looks like I'll be driving to Albuquerque and flying from there to PHX.
Which is it that truck drivers don't like? The salt or the magnesium chloride?
That's what I was thinking.
Thanks for the link!
"Here in Colorado, I've never seen a worse job of snow-plowing. I don't know why, and I'm not blaming anybody. But the snowplow guys really have had a bad time with this storm. The main streets are still bad, well over a day after the storm hit."
Things are ok up here in Longmont. We got the main and secondary roads plowed. The only thing that seems to be causing a problem is people with vehicles that aren't appropriate for the conditions getting stuck all over the place. I'ts supposed to deep freeze tonight which should be interesting.
"The streets around Boulder are in a mess. No Postal service yesterday and likely none today either. A lot of the malls had to close down early yesterday. This last week before Christmas is make or break for some retailers."
Look on the bright side. Most of the Trustafarians and their eco cars are off the streets.
ABQ in good shape and I-25 should be o.k. once you get over Raton pass. Colorado Springs airport is open but have no idea what flights, if any, are available.
I wouldn't mind the game being delayed for a day, since the Bengals played on Monday night.
Toilets, murders, rapes, bodies in freezers, just like Katrina.

They don't like the mag chloride.
LOLOLOLOL...
I LOVE it...I am sorry I just got back on the computer.
Thank you.
