Are you HOT? Then go take a look at the 2007-08 Winter Image Gallery to COOL down!

The winter of 2007-2008 has brought heavy snowfall to much of western Colorado and eastern Utah.  Many of our Weather Spotters have sent in pictures of the Heavy Snowfall and other weather phenomena.  We have posted several of these pictures below. Please enjoy the imagery! If you have some cool pictures from this past winter season, send them in, but first review the rules for submitting imagery to the National Weather Service.
