Haven’t got out to measure yet but I’d guess 14-18” so far where I’m at. Wind has picked up significantly. 

Were at about 6-7" so far here - which seems to be in line with the models. off and on heavy and then light. 

No large flakes here. Consistent and heavy, but smaller flakes. We had 4" of snow Friday morning so its been piling up nicely on top of that. 

just started here in Evergreen. Elevation 7,500'. Getting heavier by the minute.

“Does anyone have any ideas on why the Para GFS is outputting lower QPF in the foothills than those down along the urban corridor?  Quite odd.”

I agree. Might just be a model quirk. We’re seeing significant ice pellets now where I’m at (Evergreen). 

I don't think you could go wrong with Estes Park - it seems like its in the best location geographically for this storm.

But Central City with all the casinos could be a good plan B, worst case you get to lose a bit of money while losing out on all the snow too :-)  

CDOT has said they are likely to shut down the highways for some time during the storm (and after for cleanup). I imagine Wyoming will do the same if its that bad.
