Colorado Mountain Could See Upto 55″ of Fresh Snow in 24-Hours on Saturday

Pikes Peak, a 14,115′ mountain in Colorado, could see up to 55″ of fresh snow throughout the day on Saturday. 

That’s almost 6-feet in a 24-hour period.

Wind speeds will reach 35-mph, with a windchill of -31ºF.

Pikes Peak is the highest summit of the southern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, in North America. The ultra-prominent 14,115-foot (4,302.31 m) fourteener is located in Pike National Forest, 12 miles (19 km) west of downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado. The mountain is named in honor of American explorer Zebulon Pike (though he was unable to reach the summit). The summit is higher than any point in the United States east of its longitude.
