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.
-
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!
-
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.
-
Pretty underwhelming up here, just under 3" compared to 6-12 being forecasted. But I'll take any snow
-
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.
-
Yeah same here. Took a vacation trip to Virgin Islands and missed our first snowfall. good to see snow though.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Still in fantasy-land, but the GFS thinks that it may be time to start up a winter thread in the last week of October.
-
Yeah, fall is happening!

2022 Atlantic hurricane season whining/banter
ValpoVike replied to GaWx's topic in Tropical Headquarters
Just a casual observer to the Tropical threads, but I have noted a sharp decrease in activity from ldub. -
You should have gone to bed early last Monday, unfortunately. I bet you are looking forward to LE snow season though. I lived in Chardon for 8 years and I miss the insane dumps.
-
What, no view like this in Ohio? Wondering where this webcam is located though....perhaps somewhere in Wild Basin. It's a great perspective view.
-
Well, bummer! On the bright side - you may actually see snow in Ohio
-
It has been the second weird summer monsoon in a row....where up here we are hoping for only light rain, showers or storms have been coming several times a week, and the grasses are still green. While elsewhere outside of certain spots in the foothills could use as much rain as possible. The exact same thing happened last year.
-
Yes, thankfully. Up here we had a nice hour or two of light showers which had no impact on the burn scars.
-
I just logged .57” in 17 minutes. It was insane. I even had a mini landslide on my driveway.
-
The atmosphere is remarkably juicy this morning. My dewpoint is at 56 which is an oddity at this elevation. Today definitely has potential to be bad for those near or downstream from the burn scars.
-
It turns out that yesterday was indeed too much rain for the burn scars, especially the CP scar. Two people lost their lives in the Buckhorn area. In my neighborhood those along the Miller Fork were flooded.
-
So far, it has been a successful monsoon season in Central Larimer county. Today may be a bit too terrific for the burn scars, but we'll see...
