Winter storm turns roads slushy in Durango, snowpacked at higher elevations - The Durango Herald

A winter storm brought several inches of snow to Durango on Wednesday, causing roads to become wet and slushy before turning icy as temperatures dropped. The heaviest snowfall is expected to taper off by midnight, with light snow continuing into Thursday morning. Another storm system is forecast to move in on Friday, delivering a second round of snow to the region. While Wednesday’s storm was one of the strongest of the season so far, its impact on the region’s overall water supply will be limited, as snowpack across the San Juans is at or near record lows.
