| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A persistent southwest flow aloft ahead of an upper low over the Great Basin resulted in a total of 3 to 5 feet of snowfall in the southwest San Juan Mountains and generally 1 to 3 feet of snow at elevations below the 8000 foot level. Some of the heaviest snowfall amounts included 60 inches at Tall Timber Resort just north of Rockwood, 60 inches at Lemon Reservoir (20 miles northeast of Durango), 46 inches at Pagosa Springs, and 41 inches at Durango. Strong winds in portions of Montezuma and La Plata counties resulted in blizzard-like conditions, with snow drifts up to 6 feet deep. Many roads became impassable during this storm. |
