Snow Fuck

Nine months after back-to-back blizzards brought life to a near-standstill in much of eastern Colorado, some doctors and hospitals say they're seeing one more bit of fallout: lots of babies.

Avista Adventist Hospital, north of Denver, has even printed up blizzard-baby T-shirts for newborns. Ricky Lee Romero, born Tuesday, has one.

Blizzards hit the Denver area Dec. 21 and Dec. 29, and snow covered the ground for 61 straight days. Ricky Lee's dad, Randy Romero, said he had came home one night after a long shift as a Denver snowplow mechanic to find that his partner, Dayna Wilson, had made dinner and put her two daughters to bed.

"We just cuddled up to get warm, and this happened," Romero said.

"Apparently, not everybody was shoveling snow," said David Hamm, hospital chief executive.
