Wow, first Texas, now Colorado
That is getting pounded by snow along with a few other states. 60 inches of snow in Colorado is crazy. I just hope it's going to provide runoff in the Colorado river which will help Utah, Arizona Nevada and California.[/size]

Hopefully some of that run-off gets into the Rio Grande system 'cause we sure need the water here in New Mexico.
I refuse to be victimized by notions of virtuous behavior.

Ok, The real amount was 27 inches. But it was very high winds, so its really somewhere between 3 and 60 depending on where you measure.
And its all on the wrong side of the great divide to impact the Colorado River. Its all going to run off into Nebraska and Kansas. I think on the Western Slope, you see amounts of less than a foot.
Yeah its annoying, but nothing like Texas with a loss of power and water. Just alot of panic buying of toilet paper like we had a year ago when the pandemic started.

The Ogallala aquifer can use the water!
It's more about the journey than the destination!
