The good news is that should postpone the Zombie Apocalypse so you OK til spring.
Zombies don't care for slipping and sliding around in snow - they could break something.
Consider yourself safe!

Yes Boulder. I never knew that zombies like BBQ!
This week was an adventure. Out-of-town visitors intending to stay in Denver and join us Wednesday sped north on Monday night just before the storm, instead. Our street was snowed in so we were trapped with a full house for two extra days. Sledding was a favorite activity. Neighbors banded together on Wednesday afternoon and dug out enough of the street that we could all drive out, so we were able to get our turkey and put on Thanksgiving dinner as planned. Whew!
