On the 26th of October, 2006, The Denver/Aurora area recieved approximately eight inches of snow. The snow was worse down south. The closer you got to monument hill, the deeper the snow got. Some places got upward of 18 inches. Our area got 8 - 10 inches. At our hours, the back yard got the most snow. The snow was extremely heavy and shoveling was quite a challenge. Even though I had a snowblower, the weight was so great it threatened to break the handle sheer off. I had to stop several times in order to apply pliers to the snowblower handle, secure the handle, tighten bolts, and continue. I spent most of my time forcing the blower through the snow or shaving a couple inches off at a time.

	It took me more than two hours to clear the drive and walk. We'll probably get more snow this year, but the first and last storms are always the worst. The snow is wet and heavy, and my back is killing me. I sure hope the snowblower holds up.
