Some boring weather the last 6-8 weeks in NE Colorado
-
I was looking (not on my own free will mind you) at some old scrap books from past Christmases during the holidays. In the mid-80s I think there's a note in the scrap book that it was in the 60s on Christmas. This was central PA. Hardly anything new.

Seems like wind-blown snow will be a bigger issue than falling snow for most.
-
GFS has been pretty consistent the last 4 runs. If it ends up wrong, it'll go down swinging
-
Yeah the GFS has been taking the snow well south of the Denver metro area the last couple runs
-
Plains look pretty dry the rest of the year
-
Things look pretty boring for NE Colorado the next couple weeks
-
A station just a mile or 2 north of me is reporting 14.5", so I'll go with 14 and be very happy with it.
-
Bonus snow squall here on the Palmer Divide to get the temps below freezing
-
I do what I can.
-
NWS upped the floor amounts for most of the area.
-
First time in my adult life I'm not traveling anywhere for Thanksgiving, so let it snow!
-
GFS has had it for the most part the last 8 runs or so, but still varying widely each time, which isn't surprising this far out
-
GFS keeps going back and forth with what it wants to do with next week's system.
-
Unsurprisingly the 12z backs off mega storm totals but still gives a nice storm. Definitely something to keep an eye on
-
GFS pummels eastern Colorado with that storm
-
Hopefully a bit more of that moisture finds it way into the Denver area.
-
It was sunny at 60 at 11:30, now less than 2 hours later, it's 30 with an eerie fog
-
Well it only makes sense that the season goes above average when you get extra snow in a time period not typically known for significant snow.
-
I bottomed out at -1. -45 would be a bit too chilly.
-
My forecast was 8-12", gonna need a couple inches from these last couple bands to get to 8"
-
Got 6" or so here. My first "real" snow experience after moving from Maryland and the fact schools didn't close is such a wonderful thing. In MD they'd close for an inch of snow, or even the threat of snow.

The good stuff seemed to stay a bit further south and west than forecast with a pretty sharp cutoff. MBY got 3" of the 5-8" forecast, yet they got double that 8 miles south.
