How to protect your early spring garden from a late snow storm -



"Tis a privilege to live in Colorado" - F Bonfils

Here's the prediction straight from NOAA: 

A STRONG SPRING STORM WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHERN UTAH TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...AND THEN TRACK ACROSS COLORADO TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY MORNING.  PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE
MOUNTAINS TUESDAY...AND THEN SPREAD ACROSS THE PLAINS TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND NIGHT.  HEAVY SNOWFALL IS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY OVER THE
FRONT RANGE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS.  IN ADDITION...TEMPERATURES MAY
BE COLD ENOUGH TO BRING SNOW INTO THE URBAN CORRIDOR AND PORTIONS OF
THE PLAINS AS WELL...ESPECIALLY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.

THERE IS STILL CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY WITH THE TRACK OF THE
STORM...AND ANY VARIATION TO THIS TRACK WILL HAVE EXTREMELY LARGE
IMPLICATIONS ON TEMPERATURES AND THE AMOUNT OF SNOWFALL AT ANY GIVEN
LOCATION. 

Here's a great site with helpful information for protecting your plants tomorrow night!
