Titled by authorities as #WinterStormXylia, Denver, Colorado, the headquarters for PSA and USAV, experienced one of the largest snowstorms in history over the weekend. Many places saw a minimum of two feet of snow in addition to massive drifts that piled up against doors and walkways. Our team, however, was not hindered by the much-needed moisture and found ways to enjoy what Mother Nature brought us. Here are our #WinterStormXylia stories:
