This is our front door, which is actually on a sheltered porch on the leeward side of the house. All of our windows are plastered with snow. I took this photo when we dragged the dogs out through the garage to do their business. They were not pleased and have decided to wait until the blizzard passes. The drifts make it impossible to tell how much snow has fallen.
The National Guard has been called out to rescue 500 motorists who took to the roads despite being warned. The snow plows can’t operate because of stuck vehicles. The local Interstate is closed from Colorado Springs to Denver. All flights have been cancelled and all school systems are closed. There are multiple reports of accidents, downed power lines, and fallen trees, including some that have fallen on houses.
