Passes closed...about two weeks earlier than normal.
Early snow shuts down Independence, Cottonwood.
Winter weather will return to Colorado later today and Thursday as a powerful Pacific storm moves into the state prompting forecasters with the National Weather Service to issue a variety of watches and advisories.
All of Southeastern Colorado is under a blizzard watch beginning at 9 p.m. today continuing through 5 p.m. Thursday.
A winter storm watch covers the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the Wet Mountains where up to a foot of snow may fall and wind gusts could reach 40 miles per hour.
A snow and blowing snow advisory covers the Sawatch Range and mountains west and north of the Upper Arkansas River Valley.
Trail Ridge Road along U.S. 34 through Rocky Mountain National Park also closed for the season Monday. The passes usually reopen in May.

Oh good, this means we get to skip this stupid Halloween and go right to celebrating Christmas since it's snowing, right? I'll put on some Christmas music! No need to skip Halloween.
Just strike a compromise by watching The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Either here or Buffalo Yeah, but a blizzard in October is evidence of climate change, even in Buffalo. Proves Al Gore's point. Of course, if the weather was warm in October instead it would also prove his point. See how great their logic is? Everything proves their point.

There is a neg PNA right now, which leads to more western snow than has occurred of late.

My son is guiding a couple elk hunters on the far side of Kebbler Pass in Gunnison County. I hope he gets home without too much difficulty.

To: Nakota
They may have to wait until friday when the storm passes.
He probably is well equipped to ride it out.

Now amended to 'disruptive climate change', after the kooks took the heat for failing to realize the climate has never been static, AND we have to add "man-made".
Their real issue is that we humans have to stop doing what we do to change the climate, because everything we do is bad.
OK, essentially they are climatic xenophobes.

Good is bad.
hot is cold. Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

And to think, we were warned about liberals way back in the Old Testament!

Boy I bet it is real nice on the Tooth of Time ridge at Philmont right now. I can only imagine the view. The Sangre de Cristo Mountains are a beautiful place to behold.
