Snow Day in Highlands Ranch CO - and all over Denver area! Yep, the first real snow storm is here! The news keeps referring to the storm as the Fall Snow Storm - It sure looks like winter to me! Here are some shots Brian took today (I'm staying inside where it's warm).   It's still snowing, and it's supposed to continue for awhile. Schools and many businesses are closed or closing early. Probably the same goes for tomorrow. The grocery stores were mad busy, otherwise the streets have been pretty empty - except for the snow plows that are doing a good job keeping the major streets open.
