More snow for Denver?

We are under blizzard conditions. Expecting a whopper tonight and tomorrow. Last I heard, we were expecting a foot of snow.

If we were in the mountains or on the east coast, I'd gladly say bring it on. Not so here in the Denver Metro Area. Just a few inches of snow can cripple the city. More than that, I literally stay home as it is never worth going out for, as accidents are everywhere, plows are rarely seen and the roads quickly get awful.

They aren't into keeping ahead of storms here and once they hit, they don't quickly catch up. It is quite frustrating and even more annoying to see your city on the national news like your city received freaking several feet of snow, when in fact, we usually get so little and yet--here is our city displayed crippled for usually a few inches of snow for the whole world to see.

In Syracuse, New York storms rarely put a dent into your day, your commute or anything. You just went about your business like normal because the roads were constantly treated and rarely was there a problem getting around. We lived in Syracuse for four years before moving here.

One of the great things about Syracuse was how they responded to storms. Don't get me wrong, we liked Syracuse, but the high taxes and very long winters had us looking early on for a better place to live.

Most of the time, I feel we got the better end of the stick moving here. That is, until it snows. Tonight, I am hoping for no snow as I want to get out and about this weekend outside walking and hiking. A blizzard would toss out such plans.
