🌨️ Warning Issued—But Will It Really Hit?
A Winter Storm Warning is in effect through Saturday for the higher elevations around Teller County, Pikes Peak, and northwestern Fremont County. Forecasts are calling for 8 to 14 inches of snow, which could make driving conditions hazardous, particularly during Friday's commute. Colorado Springs could see 2-4 inches.
While weather in Colorado is notoriously unpredictable, it’s still worth preparing for a snowy stretch in the mountains—just in case.

🏛️ Is El Paso County Meeting Its Goals? Find Out!
El Paso County has rolled out an interactive Strategic Plan Dashboard to help residents track how the County is progressing on major long-term goals. These include improving infrastructure, boosting public trust, enhancing services, and supporting health and safety. The dashboard offers real-time updates and visuals that make government actions easier to understand and more transparent. It also helps County leaders measure success, fine-tune their strategies, and stay aligned with what the community needs most.

Recipe by COOKIE + kate
These blueberry scones are the best! They're wonderfully tender, studded with fresh blueberries, and lightly sprinkled with crunchy sugar.
