millimeters

We could give it to you in millimeter or inches, then it may not sound as bad. Worst season ever

in NOCO? We are working on getting rid of the old stuff in a big way. Once again the Front Range is getting more precip than we are. Good for their little fire in JeffCo but not so good for the fires we are gonna have. In the areas where the snow has melted off, it's drier than a popcorn fart.

10 ft in most locations, all melted by noon.....

Im going up to Jones Pass tomorrow, just to see whats going on up there. Not planning on riding hard or find rocks while climbing; mainly want to see if I can find some powder... Mainly I just wanna sit on her one more time... I got atleast 5 inches on my truck right now!

My neighbor was running a thatching blade on his mower when I got home. No snow, sun was poking out. Kinda warm.

There was less & less the further up we went today.

Could have gone sledding... but instead some buddies of mine from Wisco wanted to have some fun...

I think it might have been SLIGHTLY wetter here yesterday I came away SOAKED after picking up shells!!

I think that was the thickest snow I've actually ever seen in co. My Jetta got STUCK in about 5" of snow... it was unreal how solid that stuff was, it was like being in Cheeseland or something.

Not to bad up there... Little bit of powder up on top... About an hr of fun or so... Found a few powder places I made into jumps... But all and all it was good to get out one more time...

If you can't see...

Got a few buds from cheeseland who wanted to take out the guns & spit some lead, and one had the idea to bring some 1lb propane containers... you get where this is going...

We had a container for each of us... it was a blast, literally! 7.62x39+ lb propane+ flame= WHOOHOO

JOhn barely hit this one, so it spun like a firework, the other ones just blew into a big ball & fell over.
