Blizzard!

Starting last night, Colorado Springs got buried by a good old fashioned blizzard! I haven't been in one of these since 2006. They're kind of fun, actually, as long as you are someplace safe and warm where you can stay indoors. Dad closed his office, all the schools shut down... One of the few downsides of working from home is you don't get to take snow days, dang it.

But I still enjoyed the epic snow piles outside. Here's a picture of the front yard... Note how high the snow is in comparison to the roof.

It's not like this everywhere. Blizzards involve high winds that pile the snow up like this in huge drifts, while in other places, you can still see the grass poking through.

Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 40s and sunny, so a lot of this snow will be gone by tomorrow night! The big piles, though... those could last for months.
