I think I've touched enough on the topic of depression here and there, so instead of repeating myself, I'll direct you towards a post in Trina's blog from today..

It's rained so much here that the water is becoming brown, but at least the roads are clear, so I went for a run. I heard high school in Golden was cancelled today for the first time in 20 years because there was so much ice. I imagine it'll be flooding soon, and with luck, it'll be while the highways are closed too. Wouldn't that be neat?

Some fun facts for ya....
Mt Rainier, Washington, holds the record for the biggest snowfall during a single storm. Over a 6 day, period, they got 15 feet of snow. The record for most snow in one year was in California (I think), and they got about 100 feet. I saw a picture, and houses were covered. COOL! Largest snowflake ever was 15 inches in diameter. Does it piss you off that I'm not using metric? sorry.
Of the top 10 highest elevation summits (tallest mountains), 8 are in Nepal, with the remaining 2 in Pakistan. The distance from Everest Base Camp to the summit is about 3,500m. The height of the tallest mountains around Golden (probably closer around Kinbasket Lake) aren't even 3,500m. Mount Olympus Mons (volcano), the tallest mountain in our solar system, is on Mars, and it's 3 times taller than Everest AND it's 450km wide. godamn. Imagine how many more cool valleys, cliffs, canyons, and mountains there'd be if there was no water in the ocean....
