I’m a serious policy guy with decades of service to the city of Colorado Springs. After serving on City Council for 11 years, President for four years, Vice Mayor for two, I’ve dedicated a majority of my adult life to public service.

Brace yourself for a late winter storm that could dump up to 2 feet or more of snow on the region, local officials said at a news briefing March 11. Welcome to March in Colorado, Greg Heavener with the National Weather Service in Pueblo said to begin his remarks.
A storm cell that could dump mountains of snow on the area, or only bring rain, is forming off the California coast, and exactly what impact it will bring depends on what happens after it makes landfall, he said.
But Heavener warned snow is expected to be abundant and heavy, posing a hazard to travelers, trees and utility lines.
