First western winter storm

Well here is comes, the first big winter storm of the season is moving across the west. Snow has spread across the mountains of California, Utah, and now into southwest Colorado.

The first chain laws of the season were posted early this morning for Red Mountain Pass on US 550, just outside of Durango.

Ahead of the storm, it will be extremely windy, along and east of the Rockies.

There is even going to be a small severe weather outbreak over the next few days across the high plains.

The fall storms are exciting! Very dramatic as we make that seasonal transition.
