Got snow?

Yes, we do. Bayfield and Ignacio schools were closed Thursday, along with tribal offices and the Ignacio Community Library.

About eight inches of snow has fallen in downtown Bayfield in the past few days. A winter storm watch went into effect at 6 p.m. Thursday and runs through Friday afternoon. There is an 80 percent chance of snow continuing today, and a 10 percent chance this evening, according to the National Weather Service office in Grand Junction. The storm is supposed to move out later tonight, with partly sunny skies and a high of 27 on Saturday. More snow could return on Saturday, with a 20 percent chance of precipitation.

A winter storm warning was in effect through midnight Wednesday. All after-school activities were cancelled Wednesday in Ignacio and Bayfield.
