Colorado Blizzard 2009 Photos And Timelapse Video

Wheat Ridge received at least 15.1" from Thursday's storm, producing these drifts by the time I returned home after a snow day(!) was declared:





Around the 2:00 mark of the following timelapse shot from my office this morning, the blizzard really kicked in:



I turned the camera to catch the intersection of 14th and Larimer--the snow was collecting so quickly, that the tire tracks from each successive turn of traffic disappeared:

Begin the New Year with a Laugh: We Can All Cry Soon Enough

By Julian Dunraven, J.D., M.P.A.

Honorable Friends:

Happy Twelfth Night! This is the last day of Christmas. Tomorrow is the Epiphany and, as the Magi commence their visit, the holidays will sadly draw to a close. Before I get back to commenting on the New Year, though, which is quickly filling up with many mad events (El Presidente has already pounced on the insane appointment of Sen. Who), I thought I would share a few light hearted reflections on 2008.

This first video comes from Jib Jab. Their annual, “Year in Review” series of videos never fails to entertain, and the “2008 Year in Review,” is no exception.

The second video recap of 2008 comes from “Uncle Jay Explains the News.” Uncle Jay seems to be quite an entertaining and sensible fellow, and his other news briefings are worth a glance or two as well.

I hope you enjoy the levity. Tomorrow the Dunraven will be back to his usual raucous squawking.
