    It is looking like upslope is finally kicking in based on the pop ups over central/western Boulder County.
  2. ValpoVike
    Yeah, returns are cranking to the NNW. Much faster.
  3. ValpoVike
    I am going with absolute faith that the massive gap around Denver fills in soon.

    Finally, starting to crank in Glen Haven.

    Yeah, but not sure it is open with Covid. It is a mom and pop place owned by an elderly couple. I haven't seen any activity there for the past year.

    I am in Glen Haven, which is a few miles north of EP. EDIT - a town of about 200. No hotel, so I would think EP is still a good base for you.

    It's hard to stay positive on this mess. As I look at my gauge with a measly .08 so far.
  8. ValpoVike
    Yes, AFD mentions heaviest snow from 06z to 18z Sunday.

    Graupel just started up here in Glen Haven. Temps are 28.

    LOL, as in never. Great plan though.

    Estes is in a bowl shaped valley. There are no hotels nearby in any direction, so you are probably as close as you can get without sleeping in a car . Sometimes that little bowl makes a small difference, sometimes no effect.

    The para has been looking really weird for the past couple of runs. For example, going from Boulder up to Nederland the QPF actually drops with elevation. Generally a similar look up and down the front range. Odd. Maybe not as juicy column?

    Here is a link to a weather station and webcam from one of my neighbors, north of Estes Park by about 8 miles and in a prime spot to perform in this storm. A bit foggy currently. http://www.retreatweather.com/West-Image.php

    Tiny little mood flakes, but starting to pick up. Got a giant pot of chili on the burner, and prepped for the long haul

    With the way most of the models are trending this morning, I think a shot at 45-48". Especially north of town where elevations are about 8000'.

    Very thick fog up here. I live on a steep sloping hill side, and cannot see the bottom of my property which is about 300' down. Definitely getting moist out there.

    Even the 3km NAM is getting wetter. About the same increase for FoCo and the Larimer foothills, but holding steady south.

    12z HRRR is ticking up for Denver and points north by an additional .5", and an additional 1" in the foothills. 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.

    Welcome to EP. Yes the fog has been thick since yesterday afternoon. Which hotel did you choose? Hint: Claire's downtown or the Notchtop have the best breakfasts :).
  20. ValpoVike
    You're good
  21. ValpoVike
    It looks like the drug dealer came back to visit the GFS again... 18z Larimer county is again off the charts compared to 12z. Back to the old look of ~9". Fun to dream about, but I'll take half that (what is in the para) and be super happy and call it a day.

    Be sure to get food, or stay very close to downtown. I wouldn't want to walk or drive this weekend. None of the hotels have restaurants except the Stanley, but rooms there are $$$$. But it has a big tie into The Shining, which may be a good mood setter for an epic snowstorm. Let's avoid more in the thread, and PM if you have questions.

    I live just outside of Estes. It is about 1:30 in normal traffic. You should be able to get back down the canyon by Tuesday morning I would estimate. Edit- you will lose cell btwn Lyons and Estes Park. Solid no signal for that stretch.
