Over a foot in the forecast...

Oh, happy day, the forecast looks bad. Yes, "snow" is in the forecast for Aspen Thursday night with a “new snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.” Well, bring on the "snow accumulation." That is such a magic phrase to read, it makes the pulse beat faster. “Snow likely” in Aspen again on Friday with “new snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches possible.” Wow. It can’t be true, can it? Friday night? Another 1 to 2 inches possible. That looks like 7 to 14 inches in the forecast in about two days. Well, if it is true, we’re saved! And having a World Cup race. If there is ten inches of snow in downtown Aspen Saturday morning, that deserves a street dance. Snow is also “likely” on Saturday as well. Time go to sit down and relax. Or do some apres-ski conditioning. Or spin around in tight circles trying to remember where those boards are. And you doubted the weather gods?
