A system moving from the West into the Plains has brought the first snow of the season to many parts of Colorado. Cheyenne, Wyo., set a new record for the date with 5 inches of snow piling up from the same system, breaking the old record of 4.3 inches set in 2006.
Conifer, Colo., received 3 inches of snow, according to an NWS-trained spotter. Eldorado Springs recorded 3.6 inches, and Breckenridge had 4.3 inches.
