My Mom has been lamenting the lack of snow for months. Her last two visits were snow free until the day after she left (1st time) and after she was dropped off at the airport (2nd time). She's here again, she's seen a little but not much. So last night we go to Black Hawk to do some gambling. She doesn't get to do it often but loves loves loves it. She even won a nice chunk of change unlike me who lost $20 in five minutes and called it a night. It started snowing hard while we were there but didn't leave until 10:30 pm. Big mistake. 70 was closed so there was only one road out of Black Hawk. One lane each way, narrow roads through a canyon with the river on one side (and not much in the way of guard rails where there are any... So long story short a 45 minute drive home took three hours due to four or five different accidents (I lost count) including cars, minivans smashing up against Buses, Buses not being able to get up the roads with wheels spinning away, etc. Once we finally got past all the accidents people started passing us like crazy. Keep in mind that the roads were just sheets of ice. No salt, no nothing.
At least Mom got to sit and watch the snow on the trees, mountains and river. Be careful what you wish for.
