May storm dumps big snow in Colorado

• Others braved tough road conditions to make it to the ski slopes.

What to know: Temperatures and snowfall set records in many areas, the National Weather Service reports. Here are some notable totals:

• Floyd Hill: 24 inches
• Rocky Mountain National Park: 23.8 inches
• Cripple Creek: 20 inches
• Woodland Park 18 inches
• Ken Caryl: 17.7 inches
• Genesee: 17 inches
• Aurora: 5 inches
• Boulder: 4.5 inches
• Denver (downtown): 2.6 inches

Our thought bubble: If you didn't like the snow, blame me. I put away the snow shovel last week, jinxing us all.

• I've lived here long enough to know better. Now I'm paying for it with a $1,000 bill to remove broken tree limbs in my yard.
