mayjawintastawm Posted December 3 Author Share Posted December 3 3.5" here at 10 AM. This has been a very typical light upslope storm, and also typical in that the foothills north and west of town got the most (so far), as opposed to south. Winds were a little more east than north. Really well predicted! Edit: 5.0" for a final at 8 PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacoman25 Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 Up to 6" here, still coming down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValpoVike Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 About 5" up here, pretty much aligning with the forecast yesterday. I did get to get my new plow out on the UTV to test it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnster Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 About 8" here in foothills NW of Fort Collins with good moisture content. A blessing indeed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 I got a nice push this afternoon. Probably 5" by the time it's done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Last few GFS runs have been really neat. We're breaking the color chart. Yesterday's 00z gfs actually gave W Yellowstone 100" lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groovy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smith Posted Friday at 08:02 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:02 PM White rain gradually turned to powdery snow at 1.5" hour rates, ski resort locally is opening this weekend and saying wow, glad we didn't invest in snowmakers after all. ... 32 F, hills are nearly impassable locally.

Chinook Posted Sunday at 03:26 AM Share Posted Sunday at 03:26 AM I don't think I've seen a Rocky Mountain single storm report with over 5 ft until now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted Sunday at 02:06 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:06 PM Definitely some needed snow for the mountains. Too bad us high plains folks aren't going to see any snow any time soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayjawintastawm Posted Monday at 03:43 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 03:43 PM Noting the drought severity and coverage slowly growing east of the Divide. We're now in D2 (roughly between Cherry Creek and the South Platte, and south of Denver proper). The next couple weeks don't look to help that at all. https://www.drought.gov/states/colorado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to really be concerned about until you get to D3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Smith Posted yesterday at 01:07 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:07 AM Least favorite type of weather here, cold rain falling on snow and slowly turning it to slush. About 5" of snow on ground yesterday is now basically 3" of gloop. Not so bad above 4,000' so far, ski resort slopes are mostly up higher than that. Around 37 F at my elevation, mid-40s and mostly bare ground lower down in Columbia valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
