It'll certainly be a white christmas this year
Hmm, where did I leave my Bar-B-Que grill?
I'd hate to be whoever got their car stuck at the end of the street

About 2 feet, but it's still snowing too. The fence in the first pic is 4 feet tall

It's all shrouded in white around here as well, but that would be down to the freezing fog!!

We usually get snow about 4-5 times each winter in the city. Each time will be about 1-2 inches, but it usually melts off the next day.

Well, we got the white stuff here pretty bad too........Its' called fog!!
No-end of flights cancelled at Heathrow.....Feel sorry for those stranded by it as many will have their Christmas ruined if this continues.

Looks like my old neighborhood got hit pretty good. How do you like Highlands Ranch? My old house is less than 5 blocks from you.
It really sucks too because they've got I-25 (major N/S highway) and I-70 (major E/W highway) completely closed from Denver out to the borders South and East. My mom and sister are supposed to come to Texas for Christmas, but it's kinda questionable now if they'll make it because of the snow. I survived the major storms in 1996, 2001, and 2002 and I'm glad I didn't have to survive this one because I would've probably gotten stuck in a De-Icing truck for 2 days again...
