Jan 2014

but it seems to show that they close schools here (northern colorado front range) at six inches. i can tell you that's patented crap, we got six inches earlier this week and school was not cancelled. it usually takes at least ten, if not a full foot for them to close the schools. i didn't have a single snow day from seventh to twelfth grade. hell, we had a two foot dump in 2003 and the university didn't close down.
