Today’s Colorado ski and snow report: snow expected on Friday

A chance for snow across Colorado’s high country starts Thursday night and lasts throughout the weekend, though the best chances with the most accumulations will be Friday through Saturday morning, according to the National Weather Service.

It’s about time, is all we can say, following almost of week of being high and dry, excepting a touch of snow around Steamboat yesterday.

It’s supposed to be quite windy Thursday and Friday as the front moves into the state, so be prepared for the wind chill. In the meantime, here are the non-existent 24-hour totals (except for Steamboat) and the latest terrain report from across Colorado...
