| First blizzard of winter in Montana, first snow road closure in CO |
| 2017-10-04 |
| [Weather.com] The first blizzard of the season has resulted in widespread power outages and downed trees in parts of Montana. Treacherous travel conditions and additional power outages are possible through Tuesday, as this early-season snowstorm continues to sweep through the Rockies. Unlike the snow the Rockies experienced in September, this storm is having a greater impact since valley locations are also being affected, in addition to typical mountain areas. Interstate 70 was closed in Colorado between Vail and Copper Mountain for a time Monday morning due to accidents and vehicles sliding off the icy road. Shelters were opened to take in stranded travelers in the area. |

| #16 I don't recall the phrase - "Ski Ohio". We used to ski down Mayfield Road to Euclid Avenue on homemade skis. Euclid Tavern was at the bottom of the run. Listened to Robert Jr. Lockwood there many times. |

| #8 I'm confused - is this proof of global warming, global cooling, or 'climate change'? |

| #7 Celebrating the end of wildfire season? Yup. They got their asses kicked, had some casualties, but held the line as best as they could. Fantastic work. In addition to blizzard things, mud-slides and loss of livestock grazing are issues, but at least they can now breath while getting things sorted out. |

| #6 I don't recall the phrase - "Ski Ohio". The resorts attract local day trippers with short vertical drop runs (200-300'), Procopius2k. See here. Here in Cincinnati we generally took the kids an hour away to a similar resort in the hils of Lawrenceburg, Indiana. |

| #2 Gonna be a cold and wet winter in CO this year. Summer never really got hot and stayed unusually wet well into July. Usually get a couple nasty winters followed by a few dry and warm ones every 12 years or so. |
