New Winter Storm Moving In

Well after 8 inches of fresh snow on Christmas, we are bracing for another round today along the Front Range of the Rockies.

It is cold too -- just 10 degrees as I blog and watch the snow pile up on my freshly shoveled drive.

Hey, I will hush -- this time last year we couldn't find enough places to shovel the snow after back-to-back storms dropped up to 4 feet on Denver.

If you are traveling home anywhere across the center of the nation over the next day or so, the weather will be a factor.

Our Colorado storm will pull east with plenty of rain, snow, wind and fog.

Some good news! The storm system should tap the Gulf of Mexico and bring moisture back into the southeast states -- EXCELLENT news for the drought.

And looking ahead, arctic air currently building over Canada will break loose and move into the northern plains as we head into the first few days of January.

Just how cold and how much real estate it will cover remains to be seen. But some places may only see highs in the single digits near the US/Canadian border next week.
