never thought I'd be cursing snow in late December

yeah, I have a great job, but this time of year it is indeed less great. all in all, things are going well, but the prospect of Holiday Blizzard II has me worried. we're running at 100% occupancy now, so we may have some guests affected yet again by mother nature. but I think most of them don't depart until Sun-Tues, by which time they will have a handle on the conditions. more later, as in an update on the weather most likely. Denver's airport had some bad press from the blizzard last week, so now they seem to be more proactive.

local Denver news channel 9 says-

Travel will become very difficult across the front range and eastern plains Thursday when this storm winds up late in the day producing snowfall rates of 1-2" per hour by Thursday evening. The forecast for Denver for tonight calls for mostly cloudy skies with light winds out of the south. It will be a dry night and not overly cold. Lows in the mid to upper 20s. Thursday the first wave moves in early leading to cloudy, windy and colder conditions by midday when light snow will develop. 2-4" of snow forecast for Denver tomorrow afternoon with another 5-10" tomorrow night as the storm intensifies. Thursday highs in the mid 30s downtown. Friday will be colder with cloudy and windy conditions. Heavy snow is likely. Forecast highs in the mid 20s. Snow will continue until midday Saturday. In the mountains tonight A WINTER STORM WATCH has been posted with cloudy skies and snow showers. Lows in the single digits and teens.
