Snow may fall on Fort Collins later this week
By Trevor Hughes September 21, 2009
Could snow fall on Fort Collins as early as tomorrow night?
Southern Wyoming this morning has already seen upward of 2 inches of snow, said Don Day Jr. of DayWeather, the Coloradoan's weather service. Parts of Larimer County above 7,500 feet saw snow this morning, including Red Feather Lakes and Glacier View Meadows.
While that snow hasn't stuck much, Day said, it's a harbinger of things to come. Autumn officially starts tomorrow.
"Fall was cancelled and we've gone straight to winter," he said as a joke.
Day said there's a potential for a rain-snow mix to fall on the Front Range starting tomorrow night and into Wednesday morning. He said many people seem surprised at the sudden cold snap, but said about eight years of above-average temperatures have conditioned the public to expect summer to linger longer.
"This is actually a lot closer to normal," Day said.
He said overnight lows will drop into the 30s through about Thursday, with highs in the 50s.
