Ended up at 5 inches of cement.

About 2 inches of snow up here, following the changeover that happened around 630pm. New WWA for 4-7 inches.

Yeah, very strong signals that the moisture will be there, but temps are tricky in April. For example, looking medium range at this weekend…both GFS and Euro have quite a lot of precip with aggressive QPF maxed in Larimer county. There is a very sharp gradient in snowfall amounts in both models, with 10 miles between 1.5’ and 1” of snowfall accumulation. Welcome to late March and April!

Maybe, and it is fantasyland, but ‘‘tis the season for big dumps. We can hope!

I am cautiously optimistic that this weekend into early next week will give us a good amount of moisture.

The Drought Monitor suggests that much of the area is doing ok.

I woke up to a surprise 4” snowfall this morning. I’ll take that any day.

Yep it’s March, thundersnow for the past 10 minutes.

Yeah it has been upside down over the past 24 hours. My low was 45 up here this morning while Ft Collins is currently sitting at 22.

My low was -10 this morning as well.

Useless but interesting fact - My wife is visiting family in Wasilla, Alaska this weekend, and currently it is 30 degrees warmer than my current temp of 7.

It's going to get cold for sure. Interestingly, I have noted over the past several years that January 10th-17th almost always features extreme cold for the front range. Last year it was on January 13th, with -19 recorded here. I don't have specifics for other years logged for my location, but I did start a log last year. It will be interesting to see in a few years how it holds up.

I took this while hiking the Twin Owls trail in RMNP today. One of the best days for lenticulars in quite some time.

Several days ago I just couldn’t believe the QPF that the euro was showing. It looks like it largely nailed it…but having only scored about 3” up here, I am indeed rather jealous.

Crazy amounts for sure, but the trend does seem to be pretty strong directionally for good moisture over the next 10-14 days.
