October 17th, 2025, 5:30 – 09:00pm at the Pagosa Lodge!

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”.

We have already seen temperatures in the area dip below freezing. We have already seen a trace of snow in the high country. Tomorrow is the equinox when the sun is directly above the equator. We are tipping away from the sun and daylight is decreasing at the fastest rate around the autumnal equinox. Temperatures are decreasing at a steady rate and the polar airmass is building to the north. Soon, winter will be here!

To prepare for Pagosa Weather is hosting a Winter Weather Wonder! It will be on October 17th from 5:30 to 9:00pm. This is a free event and open to the public.

Tentative schedule:

5:30pm – Appetizers catered by Pagosa Bakery.

6:00pm – Winter Outlook by Arleen & Shawn Prochazka of Pagosa Weather. Will it be another abysmal winter or more like 2018/2019? Or 2022/2023?

6:45pm – Dessert catered by Showbox Bakery

7:00pm – Avalanche & Back-country Safety by Dustin English of Upper San Juan Search & Rescue. Dustin is a wonderful, engaging speaker. His talk is as essential for hikers and cross country skiers as it is for downhill skiers and snowboarders.

Feel free to come for the whole event or just your preferred talk.

Get there early! The first 50 people get Free Pagosa Weather windshield wiper brushes!

Have you heard a sound whose source you could not explain?
Have you seen a bright light and had no idea where it came from?
Do you think it is possible that we can hear or see God?
“ People think that the Holy Spirit speaks to us through the human voice.

This can occur, but it usually happens when a messenger of God – an
angel for example – is sent to a human being. Then people hear a
voice…but the pure Voice of God is in music, the Audible Sound Current, the Holy Spirit.”
—Harold Klemp, Love the Keystone of Life

Asking for help from the Holy Spirit can bring amazing blessings. These blessings will continue if we are aware of the guidance provided by the Holy Spirit. Being grateful for these gifts will perpetuate the blessings.

God speaks to us through the Light and Sound — Divine Spirit!
You are warmly invited to attend this compassionate spiritual discussion to share insights, experiences, and ask questions among like-minded Souls.
