| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A fast, but potent, Pacific storm system struck portions of the northern mountains. Snow fell at a rate of 2 inches an hour and some locations with snowfall totals ranging from 5 to 9 inches. Strong winds, with gusts generally ranging from 50 to 60 mph, caused whiteout conditions. In fact, a peak wind gust to 77 mph (66 kts) was reported in Silverthorne. As a result, Interstate 70, west of Georgetown, was closed for several hours. Snowfall totals included: 9 inches at St, Mary's Glacier, 8 inches at Berthoud Pass, Loveland Pass and Winter Park, 7 inches at Hot Sulphur Springs, 6 inches at Copper Mountain and University Camp, with 5 inches at Lake Eldora and Loveland Ski Area. |
