    It's going to get cold for sure. Interestingly, I have noted over the past several years that January 10th-17th almost always features extreme cold for the front range. Last year it was on January 13th, with -19 recorded here. I don't have specifics for other years logged for my location, but I did start a log last year. It will be interesting to see in a few years how it holds up.

    I took this while hiking the Twin Owls trail in RMNP today. One of the best days for lenticulars in quite some time.

    Several days ago I just couldn’t believe the QPF that the euro was showing. It looks like it largely nailed it…but having only scored about 3” up here, I am indeed rather jealous.
  4. ValpoVike
    Crazy amounts for sure, but the trend does seem to be pretty strong directionally for good moisture over the next 10-14 days.

    I picked up about 1.5" yesterday, with most coming in the evening. Not much, but I'll take it...with an eye on early next week to add.

    I think we may need a cold season thread starting on Tuesday.

    It was very visible to the naked eye. Yesterday it was at mag 1.5, and I believe this evening it will be 2.5. For sure a bit dimmer this evening and there is a lot of smoke up here, so I don’t have my hopes up too much for a spectacular encore.

    Another crisp evening, with a celestial bonus.

    It appears that I will land at 2.97" for August. For my location, it was a productive and nearly perfect monsoon with almost daily rains coming in roughly .1" increments with a couple of of .5" days. More broadly, it did seem to be a mixed bag for August with KDEN logging just under an inch for the month.

    Sweet!!!
  11. ValpoVike
    Yeah, and all of this monsoonal moisture is coming just in time:
  12. ValpoVike
    Yeah, totally socked in up here all day long in the fog. A very fall-like 55 currently.

    We picked up .6” of rain today here on the western edge of the Alexander fire. It was a steady and gentle soaking too.
  14. ValpoVike
    I am currently in evacuation on the Alexander fire, marking the second time in four years. Come on Monsoon…
  15. ValpoVike
    Icky and smoky up here. The consolation is that it is not local smoke…yet.
  16. ValpoVike
    Same here, where it is a bit frustrating to see decent QPF all around me. Meanwhile I have been clocking a steady .05"/day for quite some time. But even that I will take.
  17. ValpoVike
    We have done a little better up here. It was dry until a week ago, and over the past week we have had daily .05” rains or so. The past two days have logged a quarter inch each. Not a ton, but better than it could have been. Temps have been quite seasonally average up here, likely tempered by 2pm’ish daily rains and cloud cover.
  18. ValpoVike
    Yeah, no pings!

    My new truck is at Wally Park, so was extremely curious. Guess I will know for sure on Tuesday!

    Does anyone know if DIA received damaging hail?

    Up here and with good dark skies, starting around 9:15pm I could just make out the aurora but when I pointed my iPhone, and wow. I got some excellent photos and the aurora filled the sky in all directions. Around midnight the aurora brightened very considerably and was easily visible with the naked eye, but only to the northwest. I hadn’t see and aurora since the Halloween storm in 2003. The first image is at midnight and the others from earlier in the night all taken in Glen Haven

    Yep, I noticed that too. They seem to try to give winter one last unwelcomed gasp. EDIT: I just checked 12z and both are backing off.
  23. ValpoVike
    Final tally was 1.72” liquid. Really great moisture.
  24. ValpoVike
    I think it is basically done here. Accumulations were marred by the very high water content and the most I could measure was 5.5” due to compaction and melting. My weather station is showing 1.05” of liquid but I don’t have a heater on it so I’m not certain on the actual amount.
  25. ValpoVike
    About 3” here so far with a temp of 32.
