Colorado’s weather is unpredictable at best — but what about the storms that never really happened? In this chilling episode of Mile High Mysteries, we explore the legends of Colorado’s ghost blizzards: phantom snowstorms that blind drivers, terrify miners, and vanish without a trace. From 19th-century pioneers to modern-day truckers, witnesses describe sudden whiteouts, eerie voices in the wind, and temperatures dropping out of nowhere. Are these tricks of weather… or echoes of tragedies like the Blizzard of 1888?

Buckle up — the storm is coming. Or is it?
