Last big snow storm CO had was 2001 IIRC probably had about 30 to 35 inches in my front yard. Lost my shed and some trees. At my parents place in Black Hawk that storm dropped enough snow to reach the bottom couple inches of their windows. Maybe about 50 to 55 inches
    Usually it's 3, 5, 7 inches, then DOT does their shit ass job of plowing because they cross their fingers and hope for a sunny day to follow.

      That is the big issue, getting it rolling and how many times do you have to stop and start again. Living in the snowiest major sity in the US, I can tell you there is no substitute for 4WD.
