Snow in Fort Collins and Jeanne Goes OffRoad



Well, not in the fun sense. An early season snowstorm slammed into Fort Collins yesterday and broke the city's record for snow inches (do I sound like a wannabee weather reporter yet?) Over 21 inches of snow over a 24 hour period broke the previous record of 20 inches for the city. Jeanne was travelling to a teacher's conference and spun out. Luckily, Jeanne and companion are fine. Her mishap was featured in the Coloradoan.


"Stranded motorists Jacob Benson, left, and Jeanne Morgan, recover personal items from the Morgan's vehicle after sliding off an icy southbound roadway and into the center median of Interstate 25 just south of Harmony Road Thursday morning Oct. 29, 2009. The pair, both Physical Education teachers from Fort Collins, were en route to a P.E. convention in Colorado Springs. The pair loaded their belongings into a tow truck before getting a ride back to Fort Collins from Erich Howe of Scott's Towing and Auto Recovery. Howe was unable to free the vehicle from the snow before the Colorado State Patrol reopen one lane that was partially closed due to the accident."
