Tom Ross: TV meteorologists save January
Thank whiteness there is more snow in Steamboat’s forecast for Sunday, because we haven’t been getting our share. Even if it dumps on the last day of the month, January 2010 will not go down in Steamboat history as 31 days of abundance.

With fewer than three days left in the month Friday morning, the ski area had counted January snowfall of 39.5 inches. The season-long snowfall total for 2009-10 (the counting began in October when a few aspen leaves still clung to the trees) stood at 135.5 inches Friday.
