The wider storm

A strong upper level system impacted southern Colorado from September 8th through the 10th. This system brought an end to the above normal warmth, and provided the region with winter like weather. Strong northerly winds, heavy snow across the mountains and mountain valleys, and a wintry mix of rain, snow, sleet, and freezing rain across parts of the I-25 corridor were all observed during this time. Additionally, well below normal temperatures brought an end to the growing season over much of the area.
