Does anyone know where I can get March 2008 snowfall totals?  We had a game at work that asked people to estimate snowfall and now I cannot find any info. I have gone on the boulder weather site and national weather service site and they don't have them either.

Ok so I am sure there are many people like myself who woke up to an amazing lightning show along with some serious rain fall.  I don't think I have ever seen a storm like this one up by Jeffco Airport.  I remember storms in Littleton but not up north.  There was about 2.5 inches of water in our dogs' water bowl.  The thunder was very loud and frightening.  It was like a horror movie, you didn't need to turn on the lights because there was plenty and the house trembled as you walked through.  Very spooky but oh we so needed that moisture...plus I have been kind of lazy with the watering of my lawn.  So how was your experience?  Please share I don't think we see this type of weather too often.  I do wonder how much lightning we really experienced last night...anyone?

So either my tolerance for heat is decreasing or it is getting more hot each year.  I remember when summers consisted of 85 degree high and a nice storm to cool us off at the end of the day.  I have a small child and this type of weather really keeps you a prisoner inside.  Both of us become alive around five or six when it cools off somewhat.  Colorado is beautiful but not much to do in this heat other than a cool dip at the swimming pool.  And of course the fires are going to be bad this year as well.  Real bummer for those of us hiker fanatics who see the beetle population kill our trees that in turn burns into ashes in no time.  I don't even watch the weather anymore because I know it is going to be smokin' hot.
