\tIf you missed it, Denver was hit by a nice little blizzard on Wednesday. My house had over 20 inches of accumulation. Other places around the state had four feet. I’m just glad the power stayed on- I got a lot accomplished as far as Playstation 2 games is concerned. But, after a few hours in the house it’s pretty fun to go outside. Here’s a few ways we kept ourselves occupied.<\/p>\n
\t<\/p>\n
\tMost cities require your sidewalks to be cleared within 24 hours of snow. Hahahaha, sucker. If you don’t have a HOA that hires people like mine does, well, see you outside! We don’t even own a snow shovel, we cleared snow from the front of our driveway with a recycling bin.<\/p>\n
\tIn fifty years your grandkids will want to know how much snow “a lot” really<\/em> was. Take pictures of yourself skiing to the grocery store because, come on, nobody would believe that shit. Even if it was<\/em> uphill both ways. Here’s my collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n \tMy family lives at the bottom of a huge hill which means endless hours of entertainment as people slide back down the hill and get stuck in a drift. Two feet of accumulation is not as easy to drive in as it sounds.<\/p>\n \tMy brother made quite a bit in tips helping dig people out and push them free. Just because you can’t get to work doesn’t mean you can’t bring in some cash. Plus, it’s a good workout.<\/p>\n \tSure, it seems obvious but what better thing to do than build snowmen, snow forts, etc. This also makes for a good work out. If you’re in college you can take the more popular ‘snow phallus’ route. There’s nothing like building a giant obelisk in the church parking lot to offend the neighborhood.<\/p>\nWatch people get stuck<\/h2>\n
