Southwest Colorado, according to my friend there,
woke up this morning to snowfall,
which in early September is relatively unusual there.
They will take it gladly, though, because
this follows record high heat as well as the fires issue.

Again, my friend's part of Colorado doesn't actually have the fire,
the fires are elsewhere in the state. Regardless,
"The last couple of days, the smoke has been so bad that the sun and moon were yellow and visibility was limited."
