Officials Warning Colorado Residents About Rising River Danger
Colorado public safety officials are warning swimmers about a dangerous and lengthy high-water season.
Record snowfall is about to have a massive effect on front range creeks and rivers. For the first time in 19 years the U.S. Drought Monitor has given us the official word that Colorado is no longer in a drought.
