...SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 5 AM TO 11 PM MST WEDNESDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN GRAND JUNCTION HAS ISSUED A SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW ADVISORY...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 5 AM TO 11 PM MST WEDNESDAY. THE WINTER STORM WATCH IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT.

A STRONG WINTER STORM WILL BRING SIGNIFICANT SNOW TO THE MOUNTAINS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST COLORADO. 6 TO 12 INCHES OF SNOW CAN BE EXPECTED BY LATE WEDNESDAY EVENING. IN ADDITION... WINDS FROM 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS REACHING 50 MPH OVER THE RIDGE TOPS WILL CAUSE BLOWING SNOW...DRIFTING OF SNOW AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES.

A SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW ADVISORY MEANS THAT VISIBILITIES WILL BE LIMITED DUE TO A COMBINATION OF FALLING AND BLOWING SNOW. USE CAUTION WHEN TRAVELING...ESPECIALLY IN OPEN AREAS.

We're supposed to be flying out of Aspen at 9:15 am tomorrow.

I'm just going to sit in the corner and meditate . . .*

No, actually our plan right now is to go to the airport early in an effort to increase our chances of getting to Vegas in time for our theater tickets. Including our flight, there are three flights scheduled for tomorrow which would enable us to make our connection in Denver. Of course, it's not unusual for all the flights in a day to be cancelled when it's snowing.

We'll see.

But hey, whatever, I'm on vacation.

*you do realize that I don't meditate, right?
