Colorado needed to…
Residents of the Denver Metro area woke up this morning to find a thick layer of wet, heavy snow blanketing their cars, streets, sidewalks, and pretty much everything else. It was a winter storm that was definitely expected, but maybe a little under-promised. As all pro-winter folk avoid mentioning when trying to defend this frigid season, the storm made the…
