Yeah, I saw that "Winter In..." thing about Michigan when I lived in Detroit I think.
This has been an ususaul winter here. In the twenty-five years we've lived here, we've have maybe four or five 20 inch plus storms.
In many more cases, we've had 4 to 6 inches and it's been 45 degrees the day after and the sun melts all of the snow in a couple of days.
Some day I'm going to explain to the newsies that most of Colorado's snow is in the mountains -- and even more important, that Denver isn't.
We're on the edge of the great plains, where it meets the mountains. Our climate is semi-arid (high desert/long grass prairie). That's why some years we have water rationing for our lawns and why every tree in town has been planted unless it's along a creek or river bed.
Look out the airplane window when you fly into DIA. You don't see a lot of trees on the plains, and most of the green you see is due to irrigation.
