We had a 15-hour mini blizzard here in SE Wyoming and Eastern Colorado that looks to be moving out and heading to the midwest.  It is cold now - went from almost 60 deg. Wednesday to supposed to be 9 deg. tonight  Pretty sure the cold part came from Canada.

I am not sure where your cold and snowy weather came from, as I don't think it came from Canada. We were in the mid 50s on Wednesday, but it has cooled down to the low  30s for the last couple days. We had a few snow flurries but it melted as it hit the ground. It is supposed to get warmer again by tomorrow. Our worst snow falls seem to start in Colorado. If the weather is predicting a Colorado low moving in, you better get ready, as they can dump piles of snow. In the summer our best rains come from Montana. Our weather systems seem to have changed somewhat in the past few years.... and I am fairly certain it is NOT because of global warming.
