The wider storm

As an upper level system moved across the region, southern Colorado observed widespread snow showers across the mountains, occasionally spilling into most interior valleys and the I25 corridor. The snow did eventually push further east along the Colorado and New Mexico border, with locations along the southeast plains observing the heavier snow. Highest totals during this time frame were around one to two feet of snowfall.
