This is I-25, Denver's main north-south interstate. It was moving at about 20mph.
Nothing like a snow-capped Jeep!

Snow Pictures!
We spent the day in Arvada, a mid-size city northwest of Denver, where Jessa is a member of a pottery guild. We were there so that she could glaze a couple of kilnloads of pots, and Eric was there to keep up with Eli all day. It snowed a little bit off and on all day, but in the late afternoon and early evening it really got going. In fact, we got stuck in a bit of a surprise blizzard. It's a small one by CO standards (anything under 2 feet is small), but they were calling for intermittent snow showers adding up an inch, and it's snowed about 4 inches in an hour, and it's still pouring down. We had a pretty long drive home (~20 miles, 2 interstates), but we made it. Some pictures, for those of you living where it's still 70 degrees.

I had to go to Northern West Virginia for a funeral this past week. We got there Tues. night (no snow) woke up Wed morning to it snowing heavy. An hour later, after we had been distracted with getting breakfast and getting ready, there was 2 inches. AAAgh! (Considering it snows about once a winter in Tenn, that was amazing) The next 1 1/2 hours we traveled the whole 35 miles to the funeral. By the time the funeral/burial thing was done, there 1 ft on the ground. We just had to keep calm, not be in a hurry , treat the car sliding as if we were on a roller coaster ride (so the kids wouldn't freak out) and take 9 1/2 hours to get back home instead of 5 1/2. The kids loved every minute of it. I liked the idea that it snowed that much. Brian was just plain grumpy. hehe
I really wish we would see more snow around here, especially for the amount of COLD that we get!
*sigh* I wish it would snow here...or at least be cold enough that I could wear a coat. The 70 degree temperatures in December are really throwing me off.
Just so you know, we are supposed to break the record high here tomorrow by 8 degrees. It is going to be 80!!! Miss you!
