Well That Blows

I can hardly wait for the World Series to start, and have to call a game for snow.

Break out the kites and keep the wool hats, mittens — and snow shovels — handy!

A high wind watch for the metro area has gales blowing up to 45 miles in the Front Range foothills with gusts tonight and early tomorrow of up to 80 miles an hour, said meteorologist Jim Kalina of the National Weather Service.

Meanwhile, snow in the mountains has triggered chain laws for commercial vehicles at the Eisenhower Tunnel and Vail Pass on Interstate 70 as well as Loveland Pass on U.S. 6.

And a "big cool down" on Sunday could bring rain and snow to the foothills — and even the Denver area, Kalina said.
