There are obvious rewards for patience. For those who have said all year, "it will come, it always does," with that deep inner peace of knowing that winter was just around the corner; for those who read the Farmer's Almanac and said, "it's always right, just believe;" for those who enjoyed every blue bird groomer day anyway thankfully, this week is your week. Your patience has paid off.
Twenty seven whopping inches yesterday broke the Steamboat record for deepest day. And it was probably 35" by the time I came down...
We called the snow report this morning twice at 5:30am. Then again at 6:30. It was so funny, we recorded it.
"Did she say twenty seven inches?" And she did say it was still snowing.
Around 7 I checked my snow report app on the Droid to be sure ~ Vail: 0". Winter Park: 4". Steamboat: 27". Holy shit. Patience pays off.
I've lived here since' 98, and I don't remember a day like this. Craig's lived here since '94 and said "that Fat Friday in January of 1996 is the only thing comparable to this." ...
Jesus its coming down and no signs of stoppin...
