Blizzard hits Denver and Colorado plaines

The blizzard forecast for Denver and the eastern plains of Colorado has arrived.

Don’t ya hate it when the bad weather forecasts come true?!

I just returned from a short trip to Fort Collins, and return back to Loveland, to pick up a cable modem from Comcast to replace the 28-month-old modem that bit the dust during the middle of the night.

The trip took most of the morning. Snow was coming down hard with high winds. Visibility was not good and top speed for the trip was 25 to 30 mph.

The Fort Collins public school superintendent must be a hard taskmaster. He refused to close school. All other schools in a wide area are closed as are many stores and other businesses.
