VAIL, Colo.—The last day of summer is bringing light snow, chilly temperatures and freeze warnings across Colorado.
Light snow was reported Monday in Vail and other mountain towns. At least 3 inches of snow fell in parts of the foothills west of Denver.
A freeze warning has been issued for parts of northwest and southwest Colorado and the San Luis Valley in south-central Colorado from midnight Monday until 9 a.m. Tuesday. Temperatures in Denver are expected to dip to the upper 30s overnight.
The cold weather and snow have prompted the Loveland ski area to turn on its snowmaking machines earlier than planned.
The state highway department says Interstate 70 is icy in spots through the mountains.
