Snowy April

Posted at 8:33 pm MDT to Weather

April is supposed to be the snowiest month in the Denver area. According to the Weather channel, the average is about 12 inches, and that is also the upper end of the predicted snowfall for the next 24 hours.

We seem to be getting our regularly scheduled Friday storm (this is getting silly).

I may be wading through that foot of snow to get to my truck in the airport parking lot, and then to get to my house from the truck... the truck has been repaired so I will have usable 4-wheel drive, and Robert from the office drove it to the airport and swapped it for Shawn's van so it will be waiting for me. (Shawn was afraid I wouldn't be able to get to my house in his van if the snow was bad: that slope coming up onto the mesa can be nasty when things are slippery.)

I think I'm going to wear jeans to work tomorrow. Not something I usually do, but it's a half travel day for me, and I don't want to be wading through snow drifts in my dress slacks when I get to Denver. And I'm going to pack the flannel shirt I wore for trvelling last Sunday where I can get at it easily for layering under my suede jacket. There should be gloves and boots in the truck, if I turn out to need them... a little snowshovel, too and some other equipment. I'm glad the guys arranged to have the truck waiting for me at the airport.
