Bennett-Strasburg, CO Snowstorm = 2 feet

[Mike Umscheid]

I got home this afternoon after an awesome snowstorm experience! If you saw Roger Hill's WX-Chase post about the incredible snow totals... well, it's not an exaggeration. You enter a different world east of Denver. Definitely two feet of wet snow in spots, and a couple low spots in Bennett had some major league ponding of water on the streets. Wow. Below are a couple of photos from Bennett, CO: More are posted here . I'll be posting many more on my gallery page over the next couple of days.
