Fun Facts About the Weather
The state of Colorado Lows are known for bringing winter storms that move quickly but have a big effect. They start on the eastern side of the Rockies and often move across the central U.S. into northwestern Ontario, bringing snow, wind, and rain that is stronger near lakes. This setup happens a lot in November and December as winter patterns start to set in.
