We had (and are still having, although it's let up at the moment) a spring blizzard in Northern Colorado. I went out to the cats in their shed this morning to get their heating going and I had a headache from the cold, driving snow. Needless to say next time I went out I was smart enough to wear a hat. I didn't go to work today, and neither did most of the people in the area. Some tried, and a friend of mine got stuck at a rural farmhouse trying to get to work. Our power came back on pretty quickly, but it took longer for the phone.
