October Surprise: Winter's First Big Blast Hits West
Forget Halloween. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in much of the West, where residents woke up to the first major snowstorm of the year.
The slow-moving autumn storm is whacking the Rocky Mountain region with wind and snow, sending residents who were wearing short sleeves just a few weeks ago digging for their winter coats.
"I knew it was coming, but I didn't think it would be this bad, this heavy, this early," said Denver resident Tammy Silva.
