Now come check out my neighborhood where the east/west streets don't see enough sunlight and turn into ice rinks for months on end because the city only plows streets with stripes. But on the other hand, at least I don't live in Lakewood. I'll take it!

Same here. We butt up to Daniels park so are at 6K. We will get loads of snow while down on 470, they are getting rain. Always better to have snow to soak into the ground, than rain that runs to kansas and texas.
