DENVER —Yet another snow storm is headed to Colorado's mountains, bringing up to 18 inches of snow.
The avalanche risk, already considered considerable in most mountain areas, is likely to increase as the cold air accompanying the snow mixes with the warm air.
Rocks already have fallen in several areas.
Driving will be dangerous in many mountain areas as blowing snow obscures visibility.
The statewide snowpack was 132 percent of the 30-year average Saturday. That is good news for water users, including cities, agriculture and energy producers. But it also could lead to flooding.
