Pounding western Nebraska and Colorado's eastern plains. Also a great band name.

Just home from the office in downtown Denver, which closed early due to the storm. Pretty bad in the city but the people on the eastern plains of Colorado will get the worst of it. The good news is it will be in the 50s by the end of the week and the snow will be gone.
We usually get one big March snowstorm, so that’s no surprise. But the high wind here in the city is an added twist we don’t see very often - thankfully.
I was living in Fort Collins during the 2003 March blizzard. We got 38 inches, and roofs were caving in around Fort Collins. It was the same weekend as the U.S. invasion of Iraq and CSU's appearance in the NCAA Tournament against Duke (Dale Layer's shining moment of his tenure at CSU). That snow did not melt quickly.One of the great things about Denver - any snow is usually gone within a week.
We got 45 inches of snow from that storm, but the weather got nice pretty quickly. Worst storm I've been through in Colorado was December 2006 - not as much total snow but combined with really cold temperatures. And at one point it was snowing about 5 inches per hour.I was living in Fort Collins during the 2003 March blizzard. We got 38 inches, and roofs were caving in around Fort Collins.

We're kind of fortunate when it comes to snow removal. The 'burb that we live in likes to brag that it dedicates a higher percentage of its budget to snow removal than any municipality in the Denver metro area - and actually, it shows. When I cross the city boundaries the streets are never as clear.That one did not go away quickly in Fort Collins. It seemed like we were driving in ruts for a month.
We lived in Washington Park in Denver in the '90s, and the streets were usually cleared in a timely manner. We spent the '00s in Fort Collins, which did not do as good a good. Boulder in the '10s was the best at it, of the three cities we lived in in Colorado.We're kind of fortunate when it comes to snow removal.

Oh neato another overhyped, made-up name for a snowstorm/blizzard.
Climate change, global warming, global cooling, ..all hell I can't keep up.
We will be dead in 12 years anyway.

Was in the mountains for that storm...at a Christian camp...the previous days were 80 and sunny...I worked on the kitchen to be able to go to the camp because it was quite costly...they threw away so much food and then BAM! 70 inches of snow, we were snowed in for 4 days, 50 kids with no food, we probably tossed 25 big trash cans full of it at the start of the week. Some brave souls had to drive through avalanche warnings to get some cheese and sauce from a nearby domino's...probably won't walk through 6 foot tall snow tunnels again.I was living in Fort Collins during the 2003 March blizzard.
