I'm in Colorado Springs and I'm looking at about 8 or 9 inches, could be more, out on my deck this morning and it's still coming down. But the real issue is I've got broken tree limbs blocking the stairway off the deck so my dog can't get down to the yard to do her business. She went and pee'd right on the deck but she won't poo there. I need to get some help to remove the tree limbs and move the snow off my deck soon.

 

I could be losing more tree limbs by the looks of it. Four or more large maple limbs have broken off with two of them are on my deck so far.

Yes, we’re northwest of Denver (near Standley Lake) and we’re all fine, power on and all. As the snow melts this morning I’m seeing that we’ve got some tree damage, mainly the crown of a box elder just off our deck. It’s lost about four feet in height so that’s a blow. Oh @SilleeMee, I’m so sorry to hear of all the damage and from what I’m seeing, like you said, you’re in for more snow. I hope you can get some help soon. We’re getting good melting right now, thankfully, and your damage sure puts mine into perspective

Since my backyard gates are locked, I can't get back there at all b/c my back deck stairway is blocked by huge fallen tree limbs and that's the only way out to my backyard. My satellite dish is back there and it was covered with snow and I lost TV reception. I just can't have this happen. I need my TV!! I have priorities and that's one at the top of my list...!! 

 

So I climbed out of one of my basement window to get to my satellite dish and cleaned it off...boom! I got reception now! Some things need more attention than others.Woman WinkWoman LOL

You’re not far from me. Do you want my husband to come down there and move those trees for you? He’s worthless here, but just maybe he can do something for you. (don’t get your hopes up)

 

Fox21 weather woman just said unsettled through Tuesday (it’s snowing right now). Maybe more snow for us.

 

Packing for Florida.

Oh I would love to have my tree limbs moved! Can't do that myself, that's for sure. 

Even though I have put up with this kind of wacky weather for over 50 years here, I still love it here and I'm not going to move! Not for all the bugs in Florida especially....and gators! @Malcontent

Seriously, if you need my husband to help you out, he’ll come.

He spent 35 years in U.S. Army Spec Ops (18 Series) retired out of 10th Group/Carson: he’s not totally worthless at getting things done. lol

Colorado is my home. I’m not going anywhere.
