    Seriously bummed that I can’t get to the Money Show in Colorado Springs because of this winter storm tonight and tomorrow.

    Same. I am in Boulder and was planning on skipping classes to go on Thursday. Now all class is cancelled because of the snow and the sweet irony is I have all the time I need but the roads will be too much of a nightmare to get the Springs.

    I know...same situation here. Had planned to take off work, now work is cancelled due to the storm but I can't get there (or perhaps get back home later). I am up in Estes. I do hope that they have a good turn out down there despite the bad weather today.

    It was 90 degrees yesterday for me. I'll trade you.

    I live in N. Calif. now, but went to high school and college in Colo. Considered going to the winter ANA, but knew how iffy weather in Colo. Springs can be in March. I remember seeing 3 ft of snow in September growing up. Glad I skipped it.

    Yep same thing. Hoping the roads might be better by Saturday to at least go for the last day. Think that's possible?

    Take some pictures of the bourse. Would be interesting to see the number of no shows.
    Saturday doesn't count since dealers are leaving in droves.

    Hope that's not the case, but you may be right

    At most major shows, the last day, usually Saturday, is not worth
    attending. The major dealers are long gone leaving a junior member
    of the staff to man the tables with a couple minor coins. Other dealers
    have also left due to flight schedules or drive times. If you want to
    make it worth your while to walk in from the parking lot, the first
    two days are your best options.

    I was out on the roads all day yesterday. Between Broomfield and Denver. The roads were pretty much just wet and maybe a little slushy. That is if you can get to them. The secondary roads are a mess.
    I wanted to go but have a few jobs today to finish up.
