    Reposted from Colorado Storm Chasers FB group: it seems like the fan in Elbert County (see discussion from winter thread a couple weeks ago) will be in full operation tomorrow.

    Opened a warm season thread for now through Octoberish.

    On to a new thread, hoping for moisture this warm season. NWS says warm and dry, what a surprise. Fortunately, mountain snowpack most places is reasonable.

    Just a note as the warm weather 2025 thread opens- Loveland ski area has had 20 inches of snow the last 48 hours! One last opportunity for a powder day- unfortunately too many Easter weekend plans. 3.6" snow total in April, 51.1" on the season unless we get anything more.

    A wet inch here, nothing to write home about except for the unseasonable warmth and all the flowers out earlier this week. Total moisture 0.09" at both DEN and APA.

    But as always, QPF for this "storm" for my area goes 0.9" (Mon), 0.7" (Tues), 0.6" (yesterday), 0.45" (now)... I'll expect 0.1" and be happy with 0.4". Glad I don't farm for a living.

    Would be nice if either of those came close to verifying.

    Got 0.1 inches of snow last night, total 2.1" in April. Lots of chilly blossoms on the trees, but it didn't get super cold (low of 30 here) so things should be OK.

    That could attract tourists from as far away as... Colorado. Driven that a bunch of times, and by that stage, anything is worth stopping for.

    Seems like Elbert County causes practically anything that goes through there to rotate. Must be a great big hidden fan or something.
  11. mayjawintastawm
    You know, I thought I saw that too, in my backyard with clouds at different levels moving in opposite directions about 5 PM yesterday. 0.5" of wet snow last night, to combine with 0.2" in all of March (!) for 48.0" on the season to date. Will we get more this week?

    Now the GFS is drinking heavily, with 2 feet plus of snow for much of NE Colorado next Sat-Sun. All the major models have 6 inches plus, even the ensembles. The ECMWF seems to have returned to its usual sedate self. Hmm. I do have a couple of lift tickets left.
  13. mayjawintastawm
    0.72" rain between midnight and 7 AM today, most in one go since the November snowstorm. Nice! Though I've never seen so many flowers blooming in March since I lived in NC.
  14. mayjawintastawm
    Euro's been fooling around with the GFS and thought it'd pull an April Fool's joke. Where would the cold air come from?
  15. mayjawintastawm
    Yeah, I'm a little suspicious of that. Not sure how weather this dry and warm with no snow cover for a while now wouldn't result in a decrease in soil moisture at least. I'm guessing the data are lagging behind, somehow.

    Had a glorious powder day at Loveland yesterday, but wow- what happened to the end of winter here?? DEN has had 1.07 inches of precipitation since December 1st. That's like actual desert criteria.
  17. mayjawintastawm
    Wow, lots of red east of the Divide for 500 miles or so. The Gulf has been closed for business as regards any moisture.
  18. mayjawintastawm
    Had a 65 mph wind gust at my house last night about 10:30 PM, though only a trace of snow. Biggest gust since I got the station a year or so ago. Still gusty this AM though much less.
  19. mayjawintastawm
    And ice went out on Cherry Creek Lake over the last 24 hours, remarkable because 2 weeks ago it was at its thickest. 60s during the day with full sun and nights above freezing will do that. Short season this year, only about 8 weeks frozen.
  20. mayjawintastawm
    We had 0.20" of rain and a trace of snow, and no precip after midnight. Only impact here was to tip over a few lightweight patio chairs. Quite the bust as the storm exited stage right faster than anyone predicted. Back edge of the snow is already at the CO/KS border at 9 AM.
  21. mayjawintastawm
    But the QPF is still pretty robust. 0.5" Denver (5300'), 0.6" here (5650'), 0.7" Parker (6000'), but only 1 inch, 2 inches, and 3.5 inches of snow. Seems as much wet as a whiff. Strange. CO seems to have a force field against upper level lows lately.
  22. mayjawintastawm
    Temps could be an issue with this one, though usually they trend colder with time. Also speed of the system. Also amount of moisture. Basically everything. But the next 2-3 weeks are the "most interesting time of the year".
  23. mayjawintastawm
    Feb total 9.6" at my house, season to date 47.3". Doing well in spite of the relative dryness. Next week could indeed be interesting. Almost certain to beat my annual average of around 55-60" thanks to that big November storm.
  24. mayjawintastawm
    We got just over 6" of a semi-surprise snow at my place. Gorgeous powder. Of course I had to catch an early flight so was shoveling at 4:15 AM and couldn't go enjoy it... would have been a nice XC ski outing.
  25. mayjawintastawm
    Mountains have done great with this pattern but we've largely missed out, with <0.05" precip through Feb so far and a good chance it will stay basically dry (just traces here and there) close to the rest of the month. Last day with >0.1" water here was... November 9th. Since 11/9, 101 days, Centennial (closest station to me) has had 0.41" water. Grr.
