Park, Gore ranges get snow over
weekend
A storm system dumped about a foot of snow on the Park and Gore ranges in northwest Colorado before moving onto the Plains states Sunday.
Some isolated spots in the mountains reported as much as 2 feet of snow, but most areas higher than 9,000 feet generally saw about a foot of snow, National Weather Service meteorologist Troy Lindquist said.
Weather service officials had forecast as much as 16 inches of snow in upper elevations through Sunday night but canceled winter storm warnings and advisories for the north-central mountains in the afternoon as the storm moved out.
ASPEN
DA paid spouse more than $6,000, files
show
Ninth Judicial District Attorney Colleen Truden paid her husband's company more than $6,000 over six weeks for computer consulting work while also paying another computer consulting firm about the same amount, according to office records.
Her husband was paid less per hour than the other firm, records show, but his pay rate was higher than a rate paid to a firm used by Truden's predecessor.
Truden had told Pitkin County commissioners in April that her husband provided services in her office and did some volunteer work, but she later clarified that Fred Truden had been contracted as a computer consultant.
