I hate snow -- 2011-2012 season

[MileHigh]

I actually don't hate it like Moddy does, mostly because it doesn't stay on the ground for long here, even in the dead of winter, but the first big storm of the year is rolling in here at 5,280 feet.

It was 80 yesterday, and we could have up to a foot in the city and up to 20 inches in the foothills by tomorrow afternoon. Assuming the forecasts are right (always tricky out here).

And with most of the trees probably still at least three-fourths leafed, we could have lots of tree damage and branches falling on power lines and cars.

Add in the fact Obama is coming in this afternoon -- right at rush hour, natch -- and is here until tomorrow afternoon, blocking off streets and choking off downtown, well, we've got a Snobama ready to hit.

Oh, and we'll probably be back to shorts weather by Friday. Yes, this is typical for out here in October.

This is why the Broncos should always host a Sunday or Monday night game in late October -- so the rest of the country can gape at a snow game before Halloween.

It's Tesnow mania!

1984, the Monday Night Blizzard game against the Packers, remains epic.

He's going to shovel all the streets and sidewalks on the Front Range while simultaneously getting ready for the Lions.

He's going to melt the snow with his fiery passion, then walk on the puddles of melted snow.

Tebow doesn't make it rain; he makes it snow.

Teh Tebow knows what makes Chuck Norris cry.

When it's 32 degrees outside Tebow puts on suntan lotion.

I hate snow, if I haven't made that clear. Living where I do now, I'm really worried about what will happen in a bad storm.

Keep that cold ****ing **** in Denver.

I would just assume move my ass to Arizona beginning October 1, and never seeing the Sunflower State again til Mid-March.

They're forecasting that white stuff to hit the east (northern NY state,parts of New England) for Thursday night into Friday morning...

We have about seven inches here in Summit, MileHigh. Still snowing and it might stop tomorrow or tonight is the rumor. Bring it on and end mud season. !

Some snow forecast (not enough to measure) for Lexington, Mass on Thursday and Saturday nights. This is what dramatists call foreshadowing.

Alas, I can't find any video, so I grabbed a few pics of that 84 game.

Tonight's forecast.

About 5 inches downtown. Last year, first snow didn't hit until nearly Thanksgiving and we only ended up with about 23 inches all season (normal is about 60). Too short for fall this year, unfortunately, but looks like shorts will be fine by the weekend.

Love snow. Please arrange for some in Steamboat by January 16 please. Inviting SJ Colorado and points nearby to join for a celebratory beer or four

Love, Love, LOVE Steamboat. (Helps that my sister has a condo up there.) And lots of snow up there already. They got 500 inches-plus last season. Just got the notice that one of the good golf courses is closed for the season.

Another storm coming in middle of next week. So, in the span of a week, he had a record high of 80, 7 inches of snow, then today, back into the 60s with wind and leaves going everywhere. And virtually no snow left on the ground.

Embarking on my first Florida winter after several years Up North. My line is that I miss the first snowfall of the season, but not the second, third, fourth, fifth...

Sledding down the aisles was awesome

The fact that Tim Tebow was destined to be born warmed Rich Karlis' foot
