I'm thinking not. Thats about 17", with another two feet predicted in the next 24 hours.

Great for spring skiing and our drought, though!

My wife and I took the S to Gatlinburg and the Smokies this past weekend. The weather turned out better than the guessers said - so we got lots of top-down time in and I even got sunburned on Sunday We made the whole drive back home without touching an Interstate - nothing but curvy backroads (hoo-hoo). We got 28-29mph on the highway going up, and averaged 23-24mpg in mountain driving.

The driveway at the chalet we rented was so steep (how steep was it?) that the poor S just about could not make it up. I think I burned $20 off the clutch on the first try. This baby was STEEP - maybe a 45 degree angle - the 2.0l motor just didn't have enough torgue to pull it from a standing start. All the other times I did a running start (just barely did not scrape the front dam) and we could zoom up the driveway.

I would feel bad for all the snow you are still getting, but the Weather channel said you folks are WAY BEHIND in moisture this Winter - so you probably need it.

Look at those drifts in the background. My car got stuck trying to back out of the driveway. The snow is wet so it gets packed very easily.

I leave town for 2 days and look what happens.(it's cloudy and windy in Grand Junction)
I guess we had it coming after what everyone on the east coast had to put up with.
I just hope I can get back in town on Thursday to give my car a hug and go on a virtual drive on the computer(probably after shoveling for a week or so)

I'm just glad to see that you CO guys/girls are finally getting some snow.

I was in Vail earlier this year and they were actually making snow. EEKSSS!

The resorts must be sucking wind.
