Default Well, that was a LOT of snow

Took the GT3 out Thursday because the forecast was for up to a foot of snow. Not even close. We got 3 feet yesterday.

That's my LX470 SUV.

BTW, it is supposed to be in the 60's later in the week. Colorado!

Whoa! That's crazy. I remember when we got over a metre of snow in 24 hrs in Halifax a number of years ago. Shut the city down for days! Good luck digging out!

Our weather really isn't that bad. Not California weather, but few places are. But we don't have the congestion, high cost of living, or the high taxes, either.

Everything is a trade-off!

I feel your pain as I am in Estes Park. Great weather for my Cayenne Turbo though. Plus the snow melts very fast here due to the high altitude and lots of UVR. It will probably be nice by the end of the week...........

That is about how fast it came here. The neighbor and I double-teamed our driveways, so took about 3 hours. All good now!

How much snow did you get? Yeah, it will be gone quick. GT3 will be out later in the week!

Bipolar weather buddy! But it really isn't bad. Had the GT3 out Thursday and it was really nice. Will have it out later in the week. I have had the car for 2 months now and I have had it out every week so far. Not bad for Feb, Mar and Apr.

I'm planning on coming down to Colorado second week in May for alignment and some other things. I hope the weather settles down for my trip.

You're right, snow can be just wonderful!

Today, just up the road an hour and a half, at Whistler here's what it looks like:
