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.

Independence Pass has to be the most beautiful places on earth. Wish I was there now! A bit of a scare if you are driving. But Beautiful.
Record highs caused by global warming. Record lows caused by global warming. Droughts caused by global warming. Floods caused by global warming. Hurricanes caused by global warming. Lack of hurricanes caused by global warming. Incredibly, the public is supposed to believe the "scientists" who have blind faith in this specious theory and continue to fund their unscientific research. They have a preconceived answer to all climate change: the US is at fault.
This is so confusing...
Good is bad.
hot is cold.
No global warming here.
Try again.
Warmer Oceans means stronger troughs over the continents hence colder winters and hotter summers.
Although you should also note this is weather which does not necessarily have a direct correlation to climate. Even deserts get rain storms.
And, of course, it's all the fault of President Bush and his EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEvil mastermind, Karl Rove.
--until you get to the Aspen city limits, I agree with you--
That wonderful scene in in Chaffee County.Thanks for the heads up

OOPs.
Mystery of Missing Heat: Upper Ocean has cooled slightly in recent years.
Between 2003 and 2005, the top layers of the world's oceans cooled slightly, but scientists aren't sure where the heat went.
According to climate data gathered worldwide, 2003, 2004, and 2005 are three of the five warmest years since reliable record keeping of global air temperatures began more than a century ago. However, oceanographic surveys suggest that on average, the upper 750 meters of the world's ice-free oceans cooled about 0.03°C during that 3-year period.
Didn't you get the memo? The proper term is now Climate Change, not Global Warming. This way everything that happens can be blamed on Bush and big business. Droughts, blizzards, you name it.
Thank you.
There are three ski areas now open.
all early openings
This would be a good time for Gore to have another conference/fund raiser.
Either here or Buffalo

Yup. And the Left tells us that Climate Change is a settled issue. All real scientists agree. No need for further study. Me must act now!
