I blinked and it was a blizzard outside. Cassie from the newsroom here, eating some raspberry sorbet during a snowstorm (we all have our weird quirks). It's funny thinking about how Texans grow up joking about experiencing multiple seasons throughout a day...I walked outside in short sleeves earlier this afternoon perfectly comfortable only to be greeted by a snowstorm at 5 p.m. Mother Nature is truly a fickle thing! If you're like me and have plans to travel this weekend, CDOT recommends planning for additional travel time, especially around the afternoons. It's even ideal to leave in the mornings to avoid the inevitable high volume of traffic due to the New Year's weekend. In the meantime, did you get a good photo of the snow before the sun went down? I'd love to see your photos! You can reach me at cassiek@montrosepress.com Stay safe, stay warm and do something relaxing!

The weather outside is frightful | From the Newsroom

Rescued Airedales seek good humans for Christmas.

The weather outside is looking a little frightful. The bomb cycle hitting vast areas throughout the middle states is considered by forecasters a "once-in-a-generation storm," upending thousands of flights and holiday plans this weekend. Conditions have become life-threatening enough that the governor called in the national guard on Tuesday. We're much luckier here in Montrose, but temps are still freezing. That means Lighthouse (the winter shelter located in the Tuxedo Corn) is expecting an influx of people seeking a bed this week/end. One of the shelter's core organizers, Garey Martinez, spoke with me today about the shelter's struggle to find funding as they try to pay bills and basic utilities. If you're interested in donating to the winter shelter, you can reach Garey at 970-433-3690. I hope you all have a safe, warm and Merry Christmas!
