Kirsten Craig shovels her driveway while her dog, Sugar Magnolia, plays in fresh snow that fell Monday and Tuesday near Hermosa. Durango received 5 to 7 inches from the storm, according to the National Weather Service in Grand Junction.

Forecasters said there’s a 50 percent chance of moisture Thursday, with up to an inch of snow in Montezuma County.
