Is anyone on the front range....

Luckily my phone hasn’t rang yet from this one. Still dealing with damage from the last big snow storm. And baby is gonna be here any day so I’m hoping the phone doesn’t ring to much.

First time we've lost power for more than a few minutes in almost a decade.

I saw something from xcel that said they were intentionally shutting it down.

Steady and rough here. So far only saw a couple small dead trees down. Don't care for wind

Chris Ledoux wrote songs about this wind.

They are in some spots but definitely not here. I heard the expulsion fuse and there's about a 10 block area in town where it's been out for an hour or so. More of a comment on how incredible it is that it's been a consistent decade with no power interruptions than it is of concern.

That’s crazy.

It's howling in Cheyenne, wind pushed the camper over the chalks and the tongue jack off the blocks. Hope it's holds and doesn't tip!

Yeah, it is rockin' here outside Buffalo WY. Has been windy for several days but today is the worst. Spitting snow all day but I don't think we will get the 2-5" they called for.

Still calling for more snow. Saying 55 mph winds but it seems worse. We get pretty bad wind here at the house due to the way the terrain is. Had shingles replaced six times in the first 1.5 years after building the house.

The winds been howling up here near Greeley. Maybe it’s just the woofs…..

On the other side of the Bighorns, we don’t usually get the wind but it sure has blown us around the last couple days.

Look at the bright side! Free tumbleweed excavation!

Xcel power shutdown leaves many Coloradans frustrated and scrambling

Xcel Energy shut down power on Saturday to tens of thousands of homes in areas prone to wildfires due to high winds.

Heard they were shutting off power in some areas. We were lucky enough to keep ours on.really surprised there was not more damage in our area.

We’re going on 13 hours now - but I’ll take that over a forest fire in our area. We’d be screwed. Had to leave the wife in a freezing cold house to head to the hunt and fish expo made sure she has @Dsnow9 on speed dial if the trees start falling

 

[MtnElk]

Even driving is risky right now. Big old plastic pad came off a trailer in front of me, caught a 50 mile gust and whacked me hard. Better the hood than the windshield though

 

[MtnElk]

By the way if any front range folks need tree work, yoh seriously need to call @Dsnow9. Deacon did a bunch of fire mitigation and tree work on our property a year ago and I’m the only one in my neighborhood without huge limbs down. Definitely give him a call

My son was in CF yesterday, any ball in the air was a complete guess as to its eventual destination.

When we got home the Liquor license application poster from the outdoor popup bar a mile away was in our front yard.
