There’s not a lot new from the models. I still think there is a chance that snow could turn to a mix at or below 6,600 feet by late Friday morning. The morning commute will be a huge mess. Slow down on 160, heading into Durango from the west. Those attempting to drive from Durango over Hesperus Hill prepare for a big mess from DW2 up to Hesperus. Same with 240, 501, you know what to do… No snow reports until I give the all-clear. I will ask for them based on elevations. I would not be surprised to see a lull late Friday followed by some leftovers. In the higher elevations, snow should continue into Saturday night.
