Big Snow Headed our Way

A major winter storm heads toward Colorado Monday and Tuesday. Most of the storm's impact will be felt across the Northeast Plains and in Metro Denver. Here in Southeast Colorado, we expect light snow to start between 5 and 8 p.m., but then the real heavy powder will follow after midnight Monday. A WINTER STORM WARNING goes into effect at 8 p.m. Monday evening for all of Teller county, and the northern edge of El Paso County. Communities that will get the heavier snow will be Woodland Park and Monument, where up to 8 inches of new snow is possible along with blowing and drifting across I-25 and I-70. Colorado Springs will get between 2 and 4 inches of new snow by afternoon. This storm will affect travel out of DIA on Tuesday, so be sure to plan accordingly. Wednesday will be chilly but no snow is expected, and Thanksgiving will be fair but chilly with highs in the 30s.
