They Call That SNOW!!!

One of our readers sent us this picture of a "Cabin in the Snow" that was taken on 11 January 2005, Tuesday, CR 500 & N. Weaselskin Drive. We are told that this was taken before the 5-inches they received after 6:00 p.m. that same day. There were reports that the approximate Total snowfall accumulated over the last couple of weeks was 67-inches up at Vallecito. The newspapers reported that they had to close Wolf Creek Pass due to 10-feet of snowfall.

Duchess and I had to take a drive upnorth to Vallecito on Wednesday to see for ourselves what ... "They call that SNOW" ... looked like. It was a whole different world up there compared to what the valley looked like. Where the roadgraders and snowplows had graded roads and driveways, the piles created heavy walls of snow fences, fortresses up towards the northend of county road 500. If you didn't know there was a house and cabin nearby, you wouldn't even notice it because of the wall of piled snow.

One of our readers that lives up north in the San Juan mountains high on a Colorado hilltop sent us a few more photos of the 2005 Winter Snow. The photo on the left is a picture looking towards Mt. Irving. The photo on the right is a view of Middle mountain. Thanks, Marilyn, for those magnificent views of SW Colorado Winter Snow scenes.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
