[Colorado] 10" of Fresh Wet Snow So Far, Still Falling

I have between 10" and 12" depending on where I measure. We'll call it 10" officially.

I went out and knocked the snow and ice off my maple trees' branches. Many of the longer branches were bowed down by 6' to 10'. I feared they would break under the snow load of tonight's predicted additional snowfall. To reach the higher branches I had to run my 12' pole vertically. I discovered that snow falls vertically when knocked off of branches, and when one is standing directly beneath the branches in question one gets quite a bit of snow onto one's head. :-(
