34 inches of snow later, I'm still here. It's been crazy around here. It started snowing in denver around 7pm on monday. a little later here. last night around midnight, our electricity went out. Too much snow on the lines and stuff. By that point, we had around 1 1/2 - 2 feet of snow on the ground. We lit some candles here at the house, and played cards for a while. Around 2am, we started talking about hooking up a board to rick's truck and dragging him around the streets. After a search of the house yeilded no rope, we decided to go down to the park where everyone takes sleds and such to go down a big, but not too steep hill, before anyone else would be there. Sure enough, around 2:45, we got there before anyone else. We got out Rick's snowboard, and I can now officially say that I have been snowboarding in colorado. As long as no one asks what slope I went down, I can sound all cool and stuff. I even got up enough momentum on my last run that I flipped head over feet when I crashed.
We took the truck and played in some parking lots, and then came back here and knocked snow off our trees so the branches wouldn't break (probably a smart move considering our neighbor's tree is just devastated, including one branch that landed on their minivan). I did a belly-flop into the snow, and then came inside, having accomplished exactly what I set out to do: become cold, wet, and miserable.
It was actually very fun. I have very little doubt that when anyone asks me what my favorite part of boulder I will remember last night, 2 feet of snow, a snowboard, and my roommates. It reminded me a lot of the 7" snow we had at State. umm... minus one cousin, two garbage bags, and one laundry basket with some unknown girl in it.
lol... re-reading that last sentence just sounds odd if you didn't know what I was talking about. yeah, I'll leave it like that.
well, my camera battery was dead, so I didn't get any good pictures of all the snow. And let me also say that shoveling snow sucks... Shoveling 3 feet of snow really, exceptionally sucks.
