In March of '03 during my tenure in Boulder, we had a snowstorm of epic proportions... something like 3.5 feet over 2 days in the metro/burbs... parts of the foothills and mountains got 7' with 11' drifts. Colorado is used to snow and it never sticks around more than 3-4 days, but that was just insane. The whole state was shut down, so we made the best of it. My bedroom was over the garage and faced the street, so I opened up my window, pointed my speakers outside, and put on some Buena Vista Social Club while we went outside to drink spiked hot cocoa, dig out the cars, and throw snowballs. Great memory. :)
