Front Range snowstorm nowcast/conditions 3/13-15
MidlothianWX replied to mayjawintastawm's topic in Central/Western States
It's amazing how accurate the meso models were, particularly the HRRR (even though precip was off by a bit). Saturday night / Sunday morning I was seeing a hole/shadow over Boulder but higher totals to the south (JeffCo/Golden) and east (Louisville/Westminster), all of which verified. I even mentioned it to Seth on his FB page and he basically said proximity to the mountains can be both a blessing and a curse for Boulder. It's sort of frustrating that areas ~20 minutes away from me received 2ft+ - I really wanted to break my all-time IMBY record of 25" - but what are you 'gonna do. I've witnessed two 20"+ IMBY events in 16 months after going 16 years without one, which is pretty neat. Plus, the record-breaking season last year and the September snow. -

The official total in Boulder is 20.7" with 2.08" QPF. This makes it the 15th highest storm total all-time. -

Wolf Creek, Silverton, and Loveland top the list for annual snowfall. I want to say that even Wolf Creek saw 2ft+ from this event. Eldora normally does well with the juicy Front Range storms. -

Remains to be seen, but it looks like Loveland might have been the jackpot in the CO urban corridor. -

Wow - DIA reported 24.1" at 6pm. If that is true, this should be Denver's 4th largest snowstorm of all time. -

The official measurement for Boulder was 19.9" as of 6pm. Knowing that, I'm fairly certain we broke 20". -

I have at least 19". I haven't measured consistently enough and my board is in a bad spot. The Boulder COOP station right down the road had 18.1" at 2:30 so I'll be interested to see what their final is. I decided to skin up and ski down the NCAR hill with my roommate - it was a blast. -

Not at all Don! I'll be sure to upload more as the day goes on. -

17" here. Looks like Cheyenne is about to break their single storm record. -

HRRR really likes Denver and the NW/SE burbs through the end of the day. Looks like another ~10". -

Really dumping here now. Easily the best rates of the storm for me. -

Picking up a bit of steam here. Just about 12" total. -

I'm trying to figure out why this pocket is showing up over my head. Anyone have any thoughts? I suppose I am in a bit of a valley. -

Looks like Bellvue (NW of FoCo) is the current state winner with 28.5" @ 9am. Cheyenne was reporting 19.5" @ 8am. I have 10.5" @ 1030am. -

Dry air intrusion yesterday, low wobbled north, unfavorable wind direction during the night. -

Even the HRRR is showing a hole over parts of Boulder County. It gives a decent bit more precip to Denver throughout the day. -

Just about 10" here. Unfortunately it appears the winds weren't favorable for Boulder/Denver overnight which left us in a bit of a precip hole. The question at this point will be whether I can get to 20" - not sure it's going to happen. -
