Here's what the newspaper is saying:
Winter Storm Warning
A winter storm warning is now in effect from 6 am Sunday to 6 am mst Monday.
* Timing: expect snow showers early Sunday to become steady snowfall after
sunrise Sunday. Snow will then be heavy at times through the day Sunday,
becoming showery again Sunday night into Monday.
* Snow accumulations: storm accumulations by Monday morning will range from 15 to 22 inches above 7000 feet, 10 To 18 inches from 6000 to 7000 feet and 4 to 8 inches from 5000 to 6000 feet. Amounts north of the higher terrain will be slightly less in each category.
* Snow levels: around 7000 feet Sunday morning, dropping to near 4000 feet by Sunday evening.
* Other impacts: southwest winds 20 to 30 mph with higher gusts are likely through much of this storm. This will create areas of significant blowing and drifting snow as well as very low visibilities.
Precautionary/preparedness actions: a winter storm warning means severe winter weather conditions are expected or occurring due to significant amounts of snow and strong winds producing limited visibilities.
Driving will be extremely dangerous during this storm. If possible, postpone traveling in the warning area until this storm passes.
