Blizzard of 2006

Snow, snow and more snow,
when will you stop,
of the flakes you do drop.

The blizzard of 2006,
so much snow has fell
many people stranded and in a fix.

Here in Denver stuck in traffic
slipping and sliding, oh so slick
if I have a wreck how tragic.

Closed highways, people stranded
this is one storm, not to forget,
finally at home, here we have landed.

wrote 12-20-06  by the next morning Denver had 29 inches on the ground and it had drifted even more, it was one of the worse storms in their history.

Hi James,Wow! That is a lot of snowfall! Unbelievable. It's amazing what a storm like that can do. It gets one thinking about the realities of what it all means to folks living in amongst those conditions. An enlightning write, enjoyed much! This reminds me of what driving conditions are like here in Alaska in wintertime. One has to be prepared for anything.... Take care hun, blessing to you and your family. Love Light Truth Patricia

Wow, I guess we're lucky here on the north east, we haven't had much or any this past winter at all. 29 inches? Wow. Excellent writing, very detailed and a smooth effortless flow to the read. Michael
