| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong winter storm developed in the northern mountains as heavy snow coupled with very strong winds caused hazardous driving conditions. Most locations along and west of the Continental Divide received up to 10 inches of snowfall. In addition, strong winds developed along and east of the divide as the storm system started to exit the region. West to northwest winds 30 to 50 mph with stronger gusts in excess of 60 mph (52 kts) caused whiteout conditions in blowing and drifting snow. A few of the higher mountain passes had to be closed until conditions improved.Snowfall totals included: 10 inches at Loveland Ski Area, 9 inches at Winter Park, with 8.5 inches at Berthoud Pass. |
