State Police report no injuries.
Oh, yes! Eagle River is famous for winter sports and then, spring flooding. ;)
Good. However your guitar may need to be reordered.
The was rktman, I can barely play the radio.
Theres a disturbing amount of... detail on that sculpture.
Something tells me the artist is homosexual.
Nope.
Luis Jiménez was married with kids, lived in Hondo NM.
He did make weird sculptures.
A piece of this one fell on him in his workshop, killing him.
Fifty one years ago today, the weather men in Tulsa Oklahoma predicted a “DRY FRONT” would move through our area that night, and drop — nothing.
The next day, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas had around 14 inches of blowing “dry front” piling up in high drifts. It shut down these four states for a week or more. Power was off in parts of Tulsa for a week.
March 14, 1968. Lucky for me, I was in Northern California at that time.
Eek!
Technology has changed a great deal since 1968 but there are still times when we get it wrong.
I was just becoming a forecaster in the USAF back around that time. Even with today’s advancements in the science of Meteorology there are still those days; fortunately they are fewer.
Check out the Denver Airport murals.
If the engines had still been on the trestle and their very heavy weight made them secure from being blown over on their own, I can't help but wonder if the cars immediately behind were so securely fastened to the engines that they might not have dragged the engines off the trestle with them?
I was in eastern Colorado in 77 when a little storm like that blew in. Thirty four inches or wet snow in 24 hrs with 100 mph winds.
Beware the Ides of March.
Just talked to Julesburg Colorado. Snowing but warm so snow melting when it hits the ground. Chadron, NE is getting it hard though.
It was a good snowstorm, but in the Denver area at least, it is not overly damaging. About 6-8 inches with strong winds.
Imagine the effects of a bomb cyclone if we were wholly or largely dependent on windmills and solar farms for electricity and fossil fuels like natural gas and heating oil were banned. The windmills would be shut down or destroyed and solar panels would either be snow covered or the sun would be obscured by blizzards. The loss of life would be in the thousands as people would be freezing to death in their homes and there would be no electricity to power hospitals and medical clinics.
Good point RJ.
