Yeah, no snow fell here as the radar returns went overhead, but cloudy and 27.7/8.3 at 2:30 pm isn't gonna make the 37 forecast high bode well for NWS.

Cloudy and 26.9/10.1 at 12:30 pm. If looks counted, it would be snowing right now, sky has THAT look to it, but way too dry to reach the ground.

Currently 14.8/7.0 at 7 am after a 14.4 low. High was 23.5. Awesome pinkish red sunrise this morning with the high cirrus moving in.

I think a lot of all the angst comes down to one thing. Expectations. We watch the pattern, it is good. Something shows up 2 weeks out, awesome. Next run shows 15-20 inches in spots and many getting 7-12, people start buying in. It closes to 10 days, and although one (or even two) models show SOMETHING, it isn't the 'big one' and those expectations start to slid. Then *poof* one model has a snizzlefest, majority go OTS and one is a cutter, chaos. A minor model brings something back at day 4, then a major shows promise, we buy in again. Day two we have cold/dry air as there isn't even a storm anymore. I think the best thing (and what I have decided to do) is watch but don't buy in until day 4 at max, and then only if half the models have SOMETHING showing that appears to have a bit of consistency.

Awesome pics!!

A chilly 19.8/6.7 at 5:30 pm. WNW 13 gusting to 28 mph winds driving WC down to 7 and 2.

yes

Almost 2:30 pm and I've 'warmed' to 22.9/8.0. In and out of clouds and occasional flurries with NW 20-30 mph winds. Feels quite wintery.

Charlie! Go get me two gallons of gasoline out of the shed!

As dry as it has been here, the mountain west is in worse shape. They don't break out this year or early next, there is gonna be some SERIOUS issues with power generation and water allocation on the Colorado.

Back to winter. At 7 am it was 20.3/7.7 with a WNW 17 gusting to 28 mph wind. A few flurries in last hour, now 20.1/7.5 at 8 am with NW 16 gusting 30 mph wind.

Well, well, well. Would you look at that, the wind is back, shocking! Currently 35.8/27.9 with WNW 11 gusting 24 mph. Had a shower a while ago, but maybe 0.01 to 0.02 fell.

If you're trying to break 1999's record high, yes.

For what feels like the 300th time since Christmas we had a non-diurnal temp event here overnight. Temp was 33.0 at 10 pm, then slowly climbed to the current 36.4/25.8 at 7 am. In and out of clouds overnight, windy/gusty SW winds after midnight (28 mph gust).
