Will Northern Colorado See Any Snow This Winter?

Winter in Northern Colorado has been a bit weird, to say the least. This week, in the middle of January, I had to use my windshield wipers, and not to clean the snowy muck out of my view. Nope. I used my wipers and fluid to remove fresh bug guts from my windshield.
