| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong storm system in the desert southwest moved into southern Colorado late on the night of the 13th and during the early morning of the 14th. This system, which lasted until the early morning of the 15th, brought hazardous winter driving conditions and heavy snow amounts to south central and southeastern Colorado. 3 to 8 inches of snow was generally found across the area, including 4 to 9 inches in the Colorado Springs area, with higher amounts recorded over the higher terrain. Other totals included 12 inches at La Veta Pass...16 inches in Rye...17 inches in Beulah...and 24 inches in Cuchara. 7 to 12 inches of a wet snow/freezing rain mixture fell across western Kiowa county, downing power lines and an estimated 600 poles. 3-5 days of repair time was expected. |
