The lions of April? If you've been outside — or even looked outside — you know it's rather blustery! Forget March coming in or going out like a lion. April has decided to roar in. We had a nice weekend, but if weather predictions hold true, we're getting snow tomorrow or Wednesday. The National Weather Services is predicting strong southwest winds of up to 60 mph, and an arctic air mass behind a strong, cold low pressure system. Which means … "difficult travel, especially over mountain passes." This is the same song we've been singing since about November; I've lost count of what verse. But it's hard to complain about snow, which brings us water. I will take a moment, though, to reiterate what the sheriff has already said: Please be careful when you're lighting controlled burns. Call dispatch at 970-249-9110. Have plenty of help and water on hand. And please — do NOT burn when it is windy. Just a friendly public service reminder from Katharhynn and the newsroom.
