I'm flying late evening on 4/11. Snow is supposed to be done by early Thursday morning, so I'm not too worried. If anything, weather cancellations will move all of the previous day's flights to my flight, and I can VDB for some decent cash.

As always, it's not the snow that bothers DEN so much; it's the winds. Media is playing this as Bomb Cyclone 2.0. Blizzard warnings from noon Wednesday through noon Thursday.
It's 81 this afternoon in Denver.

Agreed on the winds, especially the further east you get.
I REALLY want to be skeptical of this forecast as well, but when I did that last month I ended up stranded at home for 8 hours without power or even cell phone service.
But I'm also typing this on my porch with a cocktail in shorts and flip flops, so my inner conflict continues.

Winds out at DIA are always the issue, last month's blizzard we had winds pushing 70+ mph gusts. I assume they are playing off that, and as we all know the nicer it is before the storm the worse it usually is here.

You couldn't pay me enough to move to the hellhole that is the DFW Metroplex.
Now DenverBrian is going to get on my case.

It's nice to be able to go outside in the summer without frying or boiling. Besides, winters in Denver are mild compared to Buffalo...I know, I grew up near Syracuse.
