Trip

OK. Tomorrow morning, very early, we’re off to the airport. They opened two runways today and got the evacuation of the stranded underway. With any luck, we’ll make it through the thousands of people still there, standing in line at the ticket counters, and catch our flight to Portland.

Weather

Here’s a new one. Aurora just declared a level three weather emergency. That means it is illegal for any cars to be on the road other than police cars and emergency vehicles.

Never heard of that before.

Weather

It’s now being called the heaviest storm in ninety years. Roads closed and hundreds of people stranded by avalanches. Interstate 70 is closed due to avalanche danger. Nederland and Eldora are isolated by avalanches.
