DURANGO — Residents of southwestern Colorado are digging out from a series of storms last week that dumped up to 4 feet of snow in the mountains.
Through Friday, Durango had received nearly 3 feet since Monday — nearly double the city’s average snowfall for January — while Wolf Creek Pass received 4 feet. A total of three storms moved through the region beginning Monday, with 12- to 18-hour breaks between each one.
The massive weight of the snow was blamed for buckling an exhaust pipe on a wood stove that led to a house fire. No injuries were reported.
