SUMMIT COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — From temperatures in the upper 70s to flurries, depending on where you are in the state Friday you might experience two different seasons.
Down in the metro, the Pinpoint Weather team forecasts sunshine and above-average temperatures in the upper 70s on Friday. However, if you head up the road on Interstate 70, the weather tells a much different story.
The Boulder National Weather Service shared photos from the top of Copper Mountain where snow is starting to fall.
