That’s about right. I am at 7310 and about 100’ above me got light accumulation. Around 8500 it looks like considerably more from what I can see today. Does anyone know how much rain fell north of DIA? It looked like some very slow movers in that area.
-
A big bust up here. My neighbor 100’ above me has about an inch on the ground. I have nothing but a wet deck. I have casually noticed that the Pinpoint Weather app from Fox31 has outperformed the WPC guidance all winter for my backyard. Strange and sad.

06z GFS actually puts the heaviest north and west of Denver bullseye on Larimer and Boulder. Euro likes Denver and loves the Palmer divide. Clearly someone is gonna get pasted edit: holy smokes look at the 06z GFS QPF, broad 3” with some crazy 4”+ amounts. NAM is trending similarly thru the end of its run.
-
Cool and happy you finally got some snow. Next week looks interesting, especially for the foothills. Both GFS and Euro show a dumping across the Boulder and Larimer foothills. The lower elevations may get a nice soaking. But we’ll see if it survives the next day or two…
-
Poof, gone.
-
Even more from the euro.
-
Awesome. I have no idea how much we got here as it would pour snow, stop for a bit, pour snow again…and with the temps fluctuating between 31 and 35 coupled with warm ground temps, I had fast melting.
-
I woke up to 40 degrees and it has since dropped to 32 with a nice moderate snowfall kicking in over the past half hour. The air feels juicy in that spring snowstorm way and winds have come around from the east. I have cautious optimism for the storm to produce decent amounts up here in the Larimer foothills. We’ll see…
-
WWA issued up here along with thunder. As is typical for April and May it looks like a fairly sharp gradient on accumulations.
-
The Euro is starting to give ground and given that the GFS was never really onboard, it is looking like this storm will be a non-event unfortunately.
-
Spring has finally arrived in the front range. I do love the winter, but I also really appreciate spring when it comes. We ended up with a couple of rounds in one day that added up to probably 8”, but the roads never became treacherous. Another great thing about spring…
-
I wasn’t expecting much but picked up 4.8” overnight.
-
Only 1-3 forecasted here, however thunder is mentioned.
-
A nice upside snow overnight and this morning up here. Currently standing right around 5", but a bit hard to get an exact amount due to some periodic gusts. Regardless, we have outperformed the forecast "of less than 1 inch". So far this season has had a bounty of 3" snows, but a lot of busts on calls of higher amounts. Good to finally see an outperformer. Still waiting for the big one or two for spring...
-
Yeah pretty meh. I did get about 5” but that is far short of the 7-12 forecasted. This has been typical all season in my neck of the woods. Fortunately we have nickled our way to a not too bad winter though. I do hope we get the March dumps this year.
-
Ratios can be frustrating here. Personally I use 10:1 as I have seen too many storms with much higher predictions miss terribly.
-
Great grab. I have been admiring that cloud all evening. It is spectacular.
-
It is good to see snow in the SE corner though. They are in D2-D3 still.
-
Yeah a snoozer but seems to happen more often than not in early January. I did spend the week in Santa Clara on business and got the full rain experience. It was crazy.
-
And a very broad avalanche warning that includes the entirety of the northern foothills. Definitely some questionable watches and warnings today.
-
31 degrees and very decent snowfall rates up here in south central Larimer county. The snow has a high moisture content as well.
-
I think part of the issue is a lack of consistent data due to some stations reporting real-time while others in preset intervals. I could be wrong though.
-
We ended up over achieving to forecast up here as I recorded a low of -17 this morning. Thankfully winds are very light. Ended up with about 3.5” of snow overnight.
-
Up here it is a balmy +5 with a refreshing 7mph breeze. And only have seen pixie dust. Not gonna complain if the forecast miss trend continues though.
-
Looks like the I25 corridor is now getting into the action. The foothills look to miss out.
