Did you remember to set your clocks back an hour this last weekend, Saturday night, November 6, 2010? Did the extra hour add to your productivity in the days that followed? Is this whole Daylight Savings Time worth it?

I do not see why humans put so much energy in to this Daylight Savings Time. It really gets this Pug off of her schedule eating, sleeping times. It seems like I am either an hour early or an hour late. Bah humbug to daylight savings change-over.

The seven day forecast put out by the National Weather Service around Bayfield, Colorado says we have a possibility of 70% chance of rain/snow likely moving in here tonight with 60% chance of snow Tuesday.

A potent early season Winter storm will move across eastern Utah and Western Colorado tonight and Tuesday. A strong cold front will initially sweep through northeast Utah then push across Western Colorado tonight. Bringing a period of heavy snowfall as temperatures fall below freezing. Snow will diminish across the mountains of Eastern Utah on Tuesday morning and across the mountains of western Colorado by late Tuesday.

In addition to the snow and cold temperatures, strong southwesterly winds will develop ... with wind gusts 40 to 45 mph at times ... especially over the higher mountains passes. Hunters traveling or camping in the high country should be prepared for adverse winter conditions.

The Winter weather advisory remains infect from 6 PM this evening to 6 PM MST Tuesday.

* TIMING ... Snow will develop this evening and continue through Tuesday afternoon.

* SNOW ACCUMULATION ... 4 TO 8 inches by Tuesday evening with locally higher amounts.

Do you know any hunters traveling, or camping in the back country of Southwest Colorado? This is this Pug's kind of weather!
