Nomad Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 2 am MT: Looks like about 4" out there, but that is best guess. I'm not going out to measure this early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomad Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 8" Now. Snowing pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayjawintastawm Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Just 6.3" on the snowboard at 6:30 AM, around 7" average in the yard. Nomad, I think I am about 7 miles E of you. KAPA only had about 0.3" W.E.- wonder how accurate that is. One thing that was interesting is that we had a NNW wind most of the night. I wonder if there was a little downsloping. Still snowing light-moderate here and the wind is more northeasterly. Maybe we'll catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucbedge Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 10.5 inches here in Castle Pines North as of 9AM today. The snow did pick up considerably overnight - after midnight when I went to bed. It's still snowing at a pretty good clip. Not the heaviest rates I've seen, but definitely above average. The wind is brutal and the drifts are up to 15 inches in my backyard.

ksstormhunter Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 17Z Update: Smartcast showing in and around the Denver region with the heaviest snowfall accumulations through 04Z. Looking at an additional 6" of snow across that area. 4" of additional snow for place around Ogallala, Sidney, and North Platte regions. Still showing winds gusting to around 35 mph in and around this region, so continued reduced visby and blowing snow.

mayjawintastawm Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 From BOU AFD last night: ...MAJOR WINTER STORM ONGOING ACROSS THE CWA ...they spelled it wrong... 9.3 inches storm total here at 11:30. Still underperforming a bit but very pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucbedge Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Snow falling here at a rate of about 0.6 inches per hour. Have received about ~1.3 inches since 9:15AM - totalling around 12.3 inches. Snow seems to be tapering off however so I dont see how we'll get another ~8 inches as the forecast suggests....unless the light snow continues for a very long time.

LithiaWx Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Forgot to mention...moved from Nashville to Denver 3 weeks ago! We live very close to City Park. My experience with snow in my life is 6 inches in the Atlanta area (early 90s blizzard that rocked the southeast). What should I expect? Did you get to see the most snowfall in your life? I smiled when I read this post because I've lived in metro Atlanta most of my life and look forward to the day I move to a colder climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucbedge Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Radar is showing another large band of mod/heavy snowfall moving southwest across metro Denver. It started snowing hard here in Castle Pines about 10 minutes ago. Probably a good 1.25 inches per hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baroclinic_instability Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Quite the overperformer with round one as that initial PV ejected northward. Persistent deformation banding has been dropping 6-12" across portions of western NE just north of here. I am worried (or excited) that the second PV max ejecting into KS is going to track farther NW as well. This one is going to be the real show. Some parts of central NE may push 20+" when this is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnweather Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The radar shows some really nice echoes to the northeast of north platte right now. 35dbz which i am assuming is snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayjawintastawm Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 SW parts of (denver/ adj town sw) are getting crushed Littleton. I'm about to get in the car and drive through that band to take my daughter's friend home. Should be interesting. Heaviest snow of the whole storm here now, still not real heavy though. Closing in on a foot, will measure at 5:30. I think a place or two in the foothills/lower mtns will end up with 5 feet. One media report from Black Hawk (30 miles W of Denver) had 48 inches.

jcwxguy Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 already getting some snow mixing here (albeit very light) in lincoln (least at my sisters house) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucbedge Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Has been snowing quite hard here for the past 3-4 hours. Have probably picked up another 3-4 inches over that time here (Castle Rock). I havent gone out to measure, but my guess is that we're somewhere around 16 inches. Drifts on the back porch are about 30 inches. We moved here in 2009. The only storm that compares to this one is the snowstorm of Oct 2009 when we got around 24 inches here south of the city. But that was in October so much of the snow either didnt stick or melted within a few days. Not so in February.... Edit: measurement IMBY is 30 inches as of 6:30PM. Still snowing.
