  1. 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…
  2. WWA issued up here along with thunder. As is typical for April and May it looks like a fairly sharp gradient on accumulations.
  3. 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.
  4. 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…
  5. I wasn’t expecting much but picked up 4.8” overnight.
  6. Only 1-3 forecasted here, however thunder is mentioned.
  7. 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...
  8. 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.
  9. Ratios can be frustrating here. Personally I use 10:1 as I have seen too many storms with much higher predictions miss terribly.
  10. Great grab. I have been admiring that cloud all evening. It is spectacular.
  11. It is good to see snow in the SE corner though. They are in D2-D3 still.
  12. 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.
  13. And a very broad avalanche warning that includes the entirety of the northern foothills. Definitely some questionable watches and warnings today.
  14. 31 degrees and very decent snowfall rates up here in south central Larimer county. The snow has a high moisture content as well.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Looks like the I25 corridor is now getting into the action. The foothills look to miss out.
  19. Not a bad event up here in the Larimer county foothills. I ended with 6.1” which is right at the midpoint of the forecast. Really cold today too!
  20. I think the ratios were the issue...as Chinook mentioned at 10:1. I had been hearing as high as 25:1 being expected, and while very early in the day the ratios seemed high...it quickly transitioned to pixie dust.
  21. Pretty underwhelming up here, just under 3" compared to 6-12 being forecasted. But I'll take any snow
  22. Up here in the Larimer foothills, I received about 3". A bit of a disappointment as I was hoping for 4-5, but still very welcome. This storm was however the "winter driving pipe cleaner"....the storm where people apparently have to re-learn how to drive on snow. Even with such light accumulation, Estes Park was overloaded with accident reports and 36 was closed due to numerous slide-offs.
  23. Yeah same here. Took a vacation trip to Virgin Islands and missed our first snowfall. good to see snow though.
  24. Here we go, it will eventually snow. Some snow starting to creep into the forecast for 10/24 for the Front Range, which is the system that the GFS sniffed out at 240h.
  25. Yeah, it's crazy. Long's Peak did have some snow a couple of weeks ago, but it melted quickly. Up here at ~7300' daytime highs have been relatively normal, but we have not had a freeze at night either. Forecast shows 33 tomorrow/Sunday night though...so perhaps.
