| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong winter storm system moved across western Colorado the morning of the 18th, reaching north central New Mexico by the evening. Heavy snow fell in many parts of south central and southeast Colorado on the 18th through the early morning of the 19th. The storm shut down nearly all except emergency services and caused numerous traffic accidents in Colorado Springs, where snowfall amounts ranged from 15 inches at the Colorado Springs airport to 34 inches near Monument Hill. Other snow amounts included: 1 to 4 inches across the southwest mountains with as much as 12 inches at Wolf Creek Pass, 1 to 4 inches across the San Luis Valley with as much as 10 inches in Antonito, 4 to 12 inches across the southeast foothills and high valleys, 15 to 20 inches across the eastern mountains with as much as 34 inches at Monument Hill, and 6 to 14 inches across all of the southeast plains. |
