This morning I woke up to find that Nine News decided to preemt the today show to bring us details of the giant storm that has hit Colorado. We were supposed to fly out to London today and were up very late getting all packed up and ready. Our flight at 12:30 was already cancelled but we quickly got ready to head to the airport to hop an earlier flight. We dropped our dog off at boarding and then were driving with horrible visibility – I called the airport on the way to find out that all flights were cancelled – we decided to turn around and head home. Here are some photos that we took at lunch time (only a few hours after the storm started). We are estimated to get between 12-24 inches in the denver metro area.

Since our flight was cancelled we have to get rebooked – the first flight we can get out on isn’t until Christmas morning. We were were set to return to colorado on the 28th – so no we are deciding if we will make the trek. It’s a crazy storm! It is fun to be snowed in, but we wish it wasn’t while we were trying to fly.

here is the current visibility….
