Only in Boulder


I snapped this photo with my cell phone the day after the first big blizzard we had. I was driving to Broomfield to play some hockey down 36 between Lyons and Boulder and I couldn't help but laugh. The plowing priorities here are pretty cool. Notice that the both sides of the highways bike lanes are perfectly clear. God bless Boulder County.

You should have ridden your roadbike. Would have been safer!

What was it like later? The reason to clear the path first is so that on a second pass they can dump all of the snow from the lanes into the bike path. I would be more impressed if they cleared the lanes first AND THEN cleared the bike lanes also

This is what it looks like after they clear the main car routes. The snow is packed enough from cars that what you see is what remains after the plow hit it.
