Like, really, everybody. Except Alaska.

0.8". I-70 was the sharp dividing line between a moderate snowfall and an almost total miss. For once, people in Loveland and FoCo can't complain.

that struck me as well. I think when schools hear "low as low as -15" they think it will happen at 7 AM, when the other day the low was around or even before midnight, and by 7 it was around zero. And this AM there was a little breeze too, was walking the dog.

Sneaux!! Fun, but staying warm the next two nights will be a challenge for all.

Interesting who radiated and who didn't... anyplace with a downslope wind (e.g. here, only got to -4) didn't radiate much but places that were calm went as low as -16 or 17.

3.2" here. Shoveled it in about 5 minutes. Likely only about 0.1" water.

Snow quite anemic so far. 2 inches in 6 hours, and radar looks underwhelming. 19 F at my house.

Yeah I haven't really kept track formally (though posts here would probably fill the data in) but just from memory, this week is often the coldest, with a secondary minimum the second week of Feb.

Gonna be one of those storms where you can shovel your driveway with a leaf blower... and I bet a lot of people will.

Looking more like a "normal" deep freeze, like we get more or less yearly, with 0.2" to 0.4" QPF to make things white (and drop nighttime temps) on the front end. Still, below zero Sat night-Sun night with even a breath of wind will make it less than comfy for sure.

Starting to talk about an Arctic outbreak in 6-7 days, perfectly timed for MLK weekend which always seems to be climatologically when we are most likely to get these... some snow at the front end maybe, too, which would be even better. Magnitude and duration of course are up in the air, with the core maybe east of us. Discuss.

Would make sense, 2.8" for me. But January seldom has heavy snows here, too dry. Average for Denver is just 6.5" so if we get another inch we'll be there.

3.0" here, slowly accumulating over 15 hours. Seems to be done now.

Yeah, that CPC Christmas Eve long range outlook doesn't seem to be panning out at all, with cold air mainly confined to east of 102 W and precip staying north and south. Reminds me of the ridge that wouldn't quit a few summers ago.

Don't look now, but the long range forecast for this neck of the woods is trending cold and maybe snowy the first week of January. Happy New Year?
