After a couple of days in the sixties, we will be reminded that we live in the Rockies and there is always a late season winter storm.  Today a storm will drop over the divide and spin snow throughout the state.  The snow will move in from the north, slowly ease down the spine of the Rocky Mountains and end up in New Mexico by midnight.  Snow totals will vary...as usual...from the mountains of the north and central where over a foot of new snow will fall… to the plateaus and mesas of the western slope where 6 to 10 inches may accumulate by midnight tonight. Some Grand Valley locations may see some wet snow on grassy areas and cars in the morning today, but soon that will change to a wintry mix that will fall off and on throughout the day.  Since we have been so warm, don’t expect the frozen precipitation to hang around long.  Look for a chilly day with highs in the low to middle forties followed by a cold night (with temps in the teens) then another day in the forties Saturday.  Sunday will be splendid with highs in the upper fifties with plenty of sunshine.  Dry weather will prevail through the first part of next week.
