Seriously, this happens every year. In fact, it happened about the same time last year.
- Snowfall in the Rockies, strong winds in the West and soaking rain in the South caused problems for holiday travelers on the first official day of winter, forecasters said on Thursday.
A snowstorm swept across Colorado overnight, dumping up to 10 inches of snow in the Denver metropolitan area and up to two feet of snow in the foothills west of the city, according to the National Weather Service.
Wait a minute....this is the western US? In the Rocky Mountains? During December?
