From a buddy up here in Estes of the comet Neowise. Photo was taken at 4:15am looking northeast, preceding the sun and roughly along the ecliptic. He reported that it is very naked eye visible, and noted that it was washed out by the sun around 4:45am.

Sorry to hear that! I am up to 18" now. Hoping to get to 20" before all is done. Then Spring
-
It is hard to get an accurate measurement with plenty of drifting, but I think around 12-13" overnight here. Not bad considering I went to bed last night with less than 1" on the ground. Now...bring on spring!
-
It has indeed been a pretty good year up in the foothills. Frankly, after this next storm I am hopeful that we are done.
-
I actually saw a mosquito up here on my deck last night. That is super rare any time of the year.
-
Up here in Estes there is a local campaign to buy gift certificates now from local restaurants.
-
Thankfully some weather to absorb ourselves in rather than the lack of TP...
-
Polarbear - you need to be in the mountains to hit all of these temp/snowfall criteria. Given the time constraints you listed, Evergreen/Conifer area may be best. For the snowfall you are looking for, maybe Bailey?
-
And this...

Hey, there is snow in Hawaii
-
Funny, I was just thinking this same thing yesterday. This has been a good series of almost daily modest snows and reminds me of my years in Chardon, OH where February was consistently like this once Erie mostly froze over and the really big dumps cut off. Big dumps are fun every once in a while, but I'll take a long series of manageable snows any day.
-
This looks nice for the foothills. And of course, I will be in LA all week
-
Well, the great thing about the northern front range is that regardless of the weather down below you can always drive up to RMNP and visit a ton of snow.
-
Define area a bit more. Mountains may see some on Christmas eve and day, plains looks pretty dry.
-
We picked up about 4" on Saturday, which is 4" more than I expected.

From a Larimer County Emergency Services text today with county snow totals: S: Winter Weather Update 11/26/2019 11:07am Winter Storm Update 11/26/2019 11am - Latest radar shows that the current storm system should be moving out of Larimer County in the next hour or so. Road crews are working to catch up in all cities and the county. Big snow in western parts of Larimer with Red Feather and Stove Prairie winning the award with 32" of snow.

I live in unincorporated Larimer northeast of Estes, along CR43. My personal is 41" on May 19th 2017. I have heard of a 53" storm in November 2013...before I moved here. I have lived in 2 snow belts in the great lakes region - Northwest Indiana and Chardon, OH. So, I have seen some much larger snows. One in particular while driving in NW Indiana on I-80 thru a 4" per hour snow squall. That is scary stuff. In Estes there is a lack of historical climatology records, so not much to compare.
-
Measuring here is a futile endeavor because of drifts everywhere. There is a Cocorahs report from this morning of 29" very near to my house, which feels right so I'll go with that
-
That 31.7" came from near Pinewood which is on the Boulder/Larimer border. They got slammed all night long there.
-
Yeah on the Lyons to Loveland. I am hearing that Pinewood Springs west of Lyons is a whiteout. Hwy 36 closed until some plows can get in.
-
Coming down pretty good up here northeast of EP. Nearly 3" so far over about 2.5 hours. So far so good on ratios as the flake size is good.
-
NWS has a narrow stripe of 33" (high end amounts) just into the foothills of Larimer basically on a Drake to Mishawaka line.
-
Snow ratios are going to be important tonight. What is the current thinking on that? I saw NWS discussion of 15:1 +, but that was a day or so ago...
-
Round two looks to be much more productive down your way. Up here we underachieved, despite steady snow all day I ended up at 7". This is about half of what I was expecting, but I'll take it
-
A meh event up here, with maybe 2 inches. Sunday looks more interesting in my part of the foothills. Curious to hear how Conifer Mtn Man did on last night's snow. Regardless, the mountains seem to be off to the races again this year so far.
