Video: Storm Trooper Spotted Clearing Snow In Durango
DURANGO, Colo. (CBS4) -- Heavy snow in southwestern Colorado has created epic conditions at ski resorts like Wolf Creek, but it's making walking and driving around towns like Durango difficult.
The Durango Herald reports that children in and around Durango got a second straight day off from school Friday because of the storm still hitting the area.
On man was spotted clearing snow from the sidewalk in a Storm Trooper suit.
"Move to Durango they said. The winters are mild compared to Hoth they said," Hank Blum joked on Twitter.
