When we considered moving to Denver, everyone made sure to tell us that last years snow storm was a fluke and that we should not expect more than a few inches at a time. They also claimed that when it snowed here, more often then not it melted within a few days and the sunshine returned. At this point I don’t think I’ve seen the sun in three days!
Now, living in Michigan for 30 years, I’m not bothered by 6 or 7 inches of snow. I actually like the look of it in our yard and around the city. What drives me crazy is that Colorado drivers do not know how to drive in the snow! My normal 35 to 40 minute commute was extended to over an hour (actually it was almost 70 minutes) yesterday due to the fact that 1-70 crawled along at 15 miles per hour. Based on the fact that we were hardly moving, I was able to take this picture while driving.
Once I arrived at work, I took a couple of additional snap shots. This one was taken from the 6th floor of the 410 parking structure. Note to anyone who visits Denver in the winter and it snows. Don’t walk too close to the buses on the 16th Street Mall, they are ruthless and they will splash you. Not that it’s happen to me…
I don’t believe that I’ve included many pictures of my new office on the blog, however here’s what I see when I’m sitting at my desk and I look out the window. To the left is the Brown Palace. This is where Mike and I stayed in May when we visited Indigio for the first time. To the right (I cropped it out of the picture) is the Republic building which as far as I can tell is the tallest building in Denver. It has to have at least 75 floors. Thankfully we’re only on the 6th, so we get a nice few and the elevator ride isn’t too long!
