I'm sure the snow is beautiful, but it's gotta get old after a while. Not to rub it in Ben, but its supposed to be low 70's and sunny this weekend for NHRA at HRP, lol.

You knew it was going to come because it probably smelled like cowshit. When I was living in Fort Collins it was like clockwork. Everytime it was about to snow you'd smell stock yards.

I was there when the front range got 38" of snow!

That looks like a light dusting!

Yeah that smell of **** every few weeks kinda sucks but it only happens when the winds are out of the south cause thats where that huge meat packing facility is.

We're at 10" right now and it's supposed to snow for another 18 hours or so.

Yeah today at work the parking lot was a huge slush box. Hopefully the sun comes out and melts this **** so it will run off pretty quickly.

I'm snowed in tonight. Gay.
