The good news is, the Winter Storm Warning is canceled. The bad news is, as of 4:21 a.m. this morning …<\/p>\n
\n… Winter Storm Warning is cancelled…
\n
\n… Blizzard Warning in effect until 12 PM MST Thursday<\/strong>…<\/p>\nThe National Weather Service in Denver has issued a Blizzard Warning… which is in effect until 12 PM MST Thursday. The Winter Storm Warning has been cancelled.<\/p>\n
Snow will quickly develop early this morning and will be heavy today and tonight. Total accumulations of 12 to 20 inches can be expected in most locations before the snow decreases Thursday morning. As much as 2 feet of snow will fall in the southern suburbs<\/strong> and Palmer Divide area.<\/p>\n
North winds increasing to around 25 mph with frequent gusts to 35 mph especially east of I-25 will produce considerable blowing and drifting snow.<\/p>\n
A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are occurring or imminent. Sustained wind and\/or frequent wind gusts of 35 mph or higher will combine with considerable falling and blowing snow to produce widespread visibilities below one quarter of a mile. Travel will be extremely dangerous and is discouraged in these whiteout conditions. If you must travel… have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded… stay with your vehicle and wait for help to arrive.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Hi. Welcome to our home in the “southern suburbs.”<\/p>\n
There is an inch or so on the ground outside this morning, which is close to what we expected. We’ll be monitoring the situation to determine if (a) we should go to the airport this morning and try to get on an earlier flight, or (b) if our travel is in fact going to be completely aborted today\/tomorrow, and that we should just sit tight and enjoy being at home rather than at the airport.<\/p>\n
Whatever the decision, safety first.<\/p>\n
We’ll keep you posted.<\/p>\n
UPDATE: Katherine’s school is posted as closed today. Hrm. Well, that makes life marginally simpler, though for complicating reasons …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
