On December 20, 2006 a rather severe Blizzard hit Colorado and surrounding states. It pretty much ground Colorado to a full stop. Please go to
my trail blogging site (opens a new window) for a full description of the event.

Another shot. Some nice snow sculptures. Most of what you see here stayed that way pretty much all day (and most of the next). Some people spent the entire day attempting to get out. Only about 6 made it out of their immediate parking space. Of those 6, only 3 made it out to the plowed road. It was difficult for all the people to understand why their 4 wheel drive jeeps, SUVs, etc., could not get through the snow. I got out after about an hour's worth of work, but that's because I had chains. Most people with 4 wheel drive do NOT have chains. Even with chains it was a little tricky. I'll pick up another set this year so I can have all tires in chains. Eventually I'll get some lockers installed. I could have made several hundred dollars towing people 50-100 yards to the plowed road : )
