Let it Snow!! I wish we still had four seasons but Colorado is already giving the high country the cold shoulder and SNOW!
Snow was spotted falling and on the ground at Loveland Pass between Clear Creek and Summit counties. Colorado’s overnight snow will be limited to areas above 11,000 feet in elevation.
Thursday’s snowfall was several weeks later than when Colorado traditionally sees its first snow. It is normal for the first dusting to happen in the second half of August.
Colorado’s early dustings traditionally melt away in just a few hours. The snowpack accumulation for the season usually doesn’t start until the first week of October. That is also when the Denver metro area gets its first snow accumulation of the season.
