Here in Colorado we have periods of winter cold, then snow, then warm and then rain so every week can be different.
The week after New Years (2 weeks ago) it was cold, then dumped snow which piled up to 3′ deep in some of the open valleys above town and stayed until it started to rain earlier last week.
Over the last few days, Ridgway has been in the zone between the weather moving out of the Northwest crossing just to the north of here, the weather moving up from the Gulf of Mexico passing against the east side of the continental divide and a 3rd system from the Southwest by way of the Baja of Mexico.
This morning as it started to snow (about 1" an hour) I took a drive and got a few pictures.
(the snow was building up on the back of the horns)

There wasn’t much early traffic, so after passing him I turned around and warmed the camera lens by the defrost vent.
Here are a few more pictures.

With G.C. members around the world, there may be some very different pictures show up here.
