Last month's rant by 9News anchor Kyle Clark begging viewers to stop sending photos of their snowy patio furniture has incited a bit of a good-humored backlash. Today, on the occasion of Denver's first big snowstorm, rival station 7News has taken to Twitter to solicit photos of snow-heaped deck chairs and flake-covered barbecue grills. The best part? The hashtag -- #PatioFurniturePride. So in the spirit of adding more fuel to this frigid fire, we're posting a photo of a Westworder's own patio set, complete with a dusting of snow. We're ready for our close-up, 7News!
