Here in Birmingham and since we've had a 'Gnat's fart' level of dusting, it now means traffic chaos for a week.

Brilliant.

Don't forget, Denver has a large African-American community. If you compare just Caucasians you won't get an average much higher than 4 inches there either.

Why don't you all of you let me know when you had real snow. Im south west of denver, and we had 26 inches between thursday and friday.

Edit, it was 26 inches by 6PM, it kept snowing fairly hard until close to midnight. So probably around 30" all together.

Yeah, but in places where it doesn't snow a lot, people are not prepared, and they don't know what to do and not do. That's when you see people getting their cars stuck all over the place, people with no means to stay warm if the power goes out, people with no food, no water, etc.

It's Global Warming. Bush's fault.

The mountain range has an effect on where snow falls, rain shadow. Colorado Springs is much closer to the mountains than is Denver, so we often don't see as much snow. This storm is a good example. I got ~6", more on the eastern side of town. I work on the western side of town, which saw <2". I went farther southwest (toward Cheyenne mountain) today, and it appeared to have received no snow.

Weather in CO seems to be very different from everywhere else I've been. I think every place has had people claim the "wait a minute, the weather will change" story, but it is actually true here. Sun, snow, rain, cloudy. All in the same day. Sometimes at the same time :D

Do not play games in the mountains when it is lightning. Often reliably in the afternoon during springtime.
