Winter is Close at Hand in Breckenridge

The low last night was 35 degrees at my house. It spit snow off and on all day yesterday.

The top of Peak 9 had a dusting of snow on it this morning - above 12,000 feet.

A friend from Fairplay said they had snow in town last night.I

t has snowed and rained off and on most of the day today - yet we had sunshine as well.

Yes, winter is close at hand in the Rocky Mountains.

It's 44 degrees outside now (5:15 p.m.) and a fine, cold mist is falling.

The aspen trees are beginning to turn a brilliant gold and red in color.

Yes, winter is close at hand in Breckenridge.
