Snowed in...

Somehow we white knuckled it up the summit and across 9,000 some feet Friday night from Laramie on our way back to Cheyenne after the Elton John concert in what was the start of a nasty April blizzard.

The closer we got to Cheyenne, the worse it got. Saturday, minus for a trip to the store, we spent snowed in at the house -- occasionally going outside to shovel off the front porch, which kept drifting over in snow and preventing us from getting the door open.

Here's what it looked like around 10:30 a.m. Sunday...












The left photo shows how deep the snow was and the photo to the right, which is tough to see because of the brightness of the snow, shows how high the snow drifted. When I walked trudged through the snow to clear off the air conditioner, the snow came up to my upper thighs. It had drifted to at least 3 feet high.














Finally, here are some photos showing the snow in our backyard and how deep it got -- and how high it drifted back there.























All the snow melted by Wednesday and did not leave enough of the moisture our grass needed.
