November 13th, 2026, 5:30 – 08:30pm at the Pagosa Lakes Club House!
Pagosa Weather is the Archuleta County Weather Ready Nation Ambassador. As such, we partner with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to inspire folks to be “better informed and prepared, thus helping to minimize, mitigate, or avoid the impacts of natural disasters”.
What’s in store for us this winter? After two abysmal winters, this snow season has got to be better. There’s a lot of talk about the Super El Niño this year, but will its influence give us more snow in
southwest Colorado?
And there are a lot of questions about our recent floods.
To prepare for winter and to answer those flood questions, Pagosa Weather is hosting a Winter Weather Wonder! It will be on November 13th from 5:30 to 8:30pm. This is a free event and open to the public.
Food Drive: We will be collecting nonperishable food items at the door for our local food pantry.
