It snowed fairly heavily here today but it was a very wet snow and so it packed down a lot. I'd say we got no more than about 5 inches total here at my house. I hear it is worse the further south you go, though, so Denver got more and they shut down the airport and stranded everyone flying through. I feel for them.
The major problem with the snow was that the Kid Unit and dad were supposed get together for the big 21st birthday celebration hang-out all day thing today, and that got cancelled byt the weather, so KU was kind of bummed at having to just stay home all day. But we made a big batch of chocolate mousse (with Callebaut semi-sweet chocolate and Godiva chocolate liqueur) and that made up for a bit. Spent the rest of the day watching The 10th Kingdom on DVD together. I also made a strawberry-rhubarb pie (KU's favorite) and a couple of other things for the family get-together tomorrow evening. The streets aren't bad now and the snow has stopped and is melting pretty rapidly, so the KU's dad is going to come up and do the dinner at least, so that's good.
I, on the other hand, after spending all day yesterday doing CosPlay assistance and today cooking, need a break, so I am going to veg out by watching Supervolcano for a couple of hours on Discover. :)

Ack. :( Spring snow is the worst. I hope it melts soon!

I actually enjoyed this. I don't usually care for these kinds of specials, but they did a good job this time. I'd started to watch that other one, 10.5 or whatever it was, when it aired, but the excessive use of the camera zoom in every single %^$!%#@ shot made me dizzy, so I turned it off after the first five minutes.

Supervolcano was well done. Probably the best disaster movie in modern memory-- I suspect because as Discover Channel at least pretends to be educational, they had to be less hysterical than your average cable channel.
I could sure tell most of it was cast and shot in Vancouver though. I knew about 90% of the actors from other shows. Ah, the incestuous Canadian film industry. :)
