It would appear that the Weather Guessers weren't lying

It started snowing around midnight, and by 8am this morning, there was a foot of snow in the city of Denver, and three feet in the towns near the foothills.

It's still snowing.

It's going to continue snowing until the end of tomorrow, by which time we should have had about three feet of snow in the city and 5-6ft of snow in the foothills.

Not only that, but the snow isn't the usual dry powdery stuff we get in Colorado, it's the wetter, sticky, icy kind we used to get (very rarely) in the UK.

As soon as my camera's batteries are recharged, I'll go out and take some pictures. The place is like a ghost town. Apparently this is the worst snowstorm in recent Coloradoan memory.

My solution? Drive my all-wheel drive truck to Zaidy's Jewish Deli, and partake of a sizeable breakfast, including waffles, maple syrup and bacon, then later, drive to Güzel, and guzzle hot, creamy latté, whilst watching all those ordinarily smug car-owners, slide about, wishing they had a truck, jeep or SUV.

The satellite TV hasn't worked since about 10pm last night, and even radio reception is patchy. God help me if the Internet connection dies!

I'm thinking of asking the lads at Güzel if they do overnight boarding for regular customers!
