Here comes Winter! Blizzard of 2003 Tomorrow should be an interesting day. The news says 12"-16" in the Denver metro area. Here's the forecast:

... there will be a couple of inches of snow by Wednesday morning and the storm should intensify throughout the day. There could be 10 or more inches of snow in the metro area by Wednesday evening.

I love the fact that it's going to be a very White Christmas. I wonder if this one will rival the Blizzard of 2003?

Speaking of local news, NBA basketball in Denver just got really interesting. The NBA's two top scorers on the same team? The Answer is Here. The first game that Iverson and Melo play in is on January 20th - it figures that I'd have tickets for the LaBron game on the 19th.

Update on Wednesday morning: The blizzard begins. It looks like they've upped the ante on snow levels too:

The metro area is expecting 14 to 24 inches of snow by Thursday morning.

Ironically, my sister happens to be flying through Denver today. Airlines are canceling flights, so we may get to visit with her for a day or two.

The kids love it, they couldn't wait to play in the snow this morning. So far, there's about 2-3 inches on our deck. Here's the view from my office:

Wow, a white Christmas, here in The Netherlands the last white Christmas was in 1983 or something like that. Mostly, the temperature is around freezing point here with Christmas, accompanied by light but ongoing rain.....

I do remember the Blizzard of 2003 very well... It was one of the few times that I had a mixed reaction to high speed internet access and VPN technology. On one hand, I was still able to work without putting myself at undue risk. On the other, I was still able to work without putting myself at undue risk ;). So I kept up with email and monitoring servers in between trying to clear the driveway.

Unfortunately your buddy Melo is going to be still out on suspension that day....
