Winter weather has come early to a wide swath of the United States — in only mid-October.
A cold front is generating unseasonably early snow across the Rockies and High Plains, ABC News and AccuWeather reported.
Montana received snow on Friday, while Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Colorado saw snow on Saturday. New Mexico, Minnesota, and Iowa are also part of the wave of cold weather, according to Weather.com.
In Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota, as many as six to 12 inches of snow reportedly piled up. The Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the Wet Mountains, and Pikes Peak may receive 16 inches. The cold is expected to dip to the Gulf states by Tuesday.
The Weather Channel tweeted, “#Snow has prompted interstate closures in Wyoming, and is blanketing parts of the Colorado Front Range. More to come today in the Rockies, Plains, and Upper Midwest.”
In Colorado, some areas are getting six inches of snow through Sunday, according to CBS Denver.
Hours before the Denver Broncos were set to face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday afternoon, the Broncos’ stadium had filled up with several inches of snow, CBS Sports reported.
Alongside a picture of the frigid stadium, ESPN reporter Lindsey Thiry tweeted, “The snow has been falling all morning at Broncos Stadium, where it’s 26 degrees. The Rams and Broncos will kick off at 2 pm local time, with snow continuing in the forecast until 6 pm.”

I w ant to see it snow on the places where the useful idiots forced them to divest in fossil fuels with their stupid little sit in i want to see them reap their awards of freezing their little toes off over their total ignorance and reading too many news letter from the Greens
Although the northern mountains of Colorado started getting snow Saturday evening it wasn’t until Sunday we got any snow along the Front Range. Saturday had blue skies and 60s temperatures but Sunday saw a high in the mid-20’s, breaking the record for the lowest high by about 10F. And the low this morning was in the teens, again smashing the record for low temp.
But of course this was just weather while our 90’s temps last month were clearly caused by global warming from too much carbon pollution or something.
Alberta and Colorado have much in common, topography and weather for starters.
The Warmists invoke Climate Change whenever and wherever it suits their ends.
Why did they change the name?
To add to the confusion. They cannot draw a straight line from tail pipes to hurricanes, but they are arrogant enough to do it anyway.
If it is a beautiful day in 2018, should we take credit for that, too?
