This looks nice for the foothills. And of course, I will be in LA all week
-
Well, the great thing about the northern front range is that regardless of the weather down below you can always drive up to RMNP and visit a ton of snow.
-
Define area a bit more. Mountains may see some on Christmas eve and day, plains looks pretty dry.

We picked up about 4" on Saturday, which is 4" more than I expected.

From a Larimer County Emergency Services text today with county snow totals: S: Winter Weather Update 11/26/2019 11:07am Winter Storm Update 11/26/2019 11am - Latest radar shows that the current storm system should be moving out of Larimer County in the next hour or so. Road crews are working to catch up in all cities and the county. Big snow in western parts of Larimer with Red Feather and Stove Prairie winning the award with 32" of snow.

I live in unincorporated Larimer northeast of Estes, along CR43. My personal is 41" on May 19th 2017. I have heard of a 53" storm in November 2013...before I moved here. I have lived in 2 snow belts in the great lakes region - Northwest Indiana and Chardon, OH. So, I have seen some much larger snows. One in particular while driving in NW Indiana on I-80 thru a 4" per hour snow squall. That is scary stuff. In Estes there is a lack of historical climatology records, so not much to compare.

Measuring here is a futile endeavor because of drifts everywhere. There is a Cocorahs report from this morning of 29" very near to my house, which feels right so I'll go with that
-
That 31.7" came from near Pinewood which is on the Boulder/Larimer border. They got slammed all night long there.
-
Yeah on the Lyons to Loveland. I am hearing that Pinewood Springs west of Lyons is a whiteout. Hwy 36 closed until some plows can get in.
-
Coming down pretty good up here northeast of EP. Nearly 3" so far over about 2.5 hours. So far so good on ratios as the flake size is good.
-
NWS has a narrow stripe of 33" (high end amounts) just into the foothills of Larimer basically on a Drake to Mishawaka line.
-
Snow ratios are going to be important tonight. What is the current thinking on that? I saw NWS discussion of 15:1 +, but that was a day or so ago...
-
Round two looks to be much more productive down your way. Up here we underachieved, despite steady snow all day I ended up at 7". This is about half of what I was expecting, but I'll take it
-
A meh event up here, with maybe 2 inches. Sunday looks more interesting in my part of the foothills. Curious to hear how Conifer Mtn Man did on last night's snow. Regardless, the mountains seem to be off to the races again this year so far.

Agreed, and they went commercial free for a very long time. Great job TWC. Thank you for not airing the "weather for the wedding" or some other bs. Bad, bad, bad - Fox and CNN.
