Snow has ended

The snow that was falling in Pagosa and the surrounding mountains has ended.  If you are venturing into the mountain, wind chill temperatures in the mountains are going to be extreme through Thursday. Also please remember to check your Avalanche Forecast (http://avalanche.state.co.us/pub_bc_avo.php?zone_id=8) and make your risk decisions accordingly, if you are heading into the backcounty.

Snow

This current storm is not expected to have too much impact on Pagosa Springs or the surrounding area:  4 to 8 inches of snow in town / 8 to 13 inches in the sounding mountains.
