Another snowstorm is moving through Aspen and the Colorado mountains on Sunday and into the start of the week, and it is expected to drop up to 10 inches of snow in some areas of the high country.<\/p>\n

In a winter weather outlook issued Sunday morning, the National Weather Service said a cold front will move through Colorado and \u201cwill be the focus of accumulating snowfall. Several advisories have been issued to account for this snow, especially in the mountains.\u201d<\/p>\n

The update calls for 5 to 10 inches<\/a> of snow by Monday in the mountains with winds gusting to 35 mph into Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

Those traveling along Interstate 70 on Sunday should expect difficult travel because of the snow and the volume of traffic, officials are warning.  <\/p>\n

The Colorado Division of Transportation said Sunday travel along the mountain co<\/a>r<\/a>ridor<\/a> will be a test in patience.<\/p>\n

\u201cCDOT anticipates slow and heavy traffic from the mountains toward the Front Range, and encourages motorists to brace themselves for a very long Sunday trip home,\u201d the state agency said. <\/p>\n

Those thinking about venturing into the backcountry should check the Colorado Avalanche Information Center<\/a> updates as the avalanche danger is considerable (level 3 of 5) in most of the norther and central mountains.<\/p>\n
