Just Keep it!
We got 26" in one storm during December!
But We ain't got near as much on the ground as your Parents!

CoCat,
I grew up in Fort Collins, my Parents bought two acres in Steamboat in 1966 from Chuck Lodwick and built a wooden A-Frame on it. Now it's kind of funny because the old wooden house is surrounded by mansions with folks who don't like the old wooden house in the neighborhood. We were up there most weekends in the ski season and spent most of the summers there as a kid. My Dad was a snow avalanche researcher with he USFS and started what has become the Colorado Avalanche Warning Information Center. He commuted from Fort Collins in the summers. So no, I didn't live in Steamboat but I grew up with it. When my Parents retired 17 years ago they moved up there "for the summer" but stayed.
Alp, have you had the pleasure of sledding Buffalo Pass? It's the snowiest spot in Colorado.

I haven't had the pleasure of sledding anywhere in Colorado. I would love to get out there and do so sometime. However winter is peak season for me(atv and snowmobile rentals) and I barely have time to ride here without figuring in travel time.
I did get a ride in on yesterday in some new snow.

Maybell...as I recall, Maybell holds the record for the coldest recorded temp ever in Colorado. -61 in 1985. I was a few miles from there and we were at -48.

Compromise, hell! ... If freedom is right and tyranny is wrong, why should those who believe in freedom treat it as if it were a roll of bologna to be bartered a slice at a time?

Here's a vid taken in Donnybrook, ND about 40 miles from Minot. Pretty wild!
