BlizzardWx Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 My goodness....downslope windstorm today in the northern SLC Valley area. https://www.facebook...pe=2&permPage=1 Peak wind gust here in Provo was only 44mph, a lot of people didn't even know anything interesting was happening! But outside of this uninteresting place it was amazing. Highest I heard of was 102mph in Boutiful but there were many reports of 80-90mph gusts all along the northern wasatch front. East of SLC lots of gusts from 60-70mph as well. Lots of trees down and damage to structures even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 It already got down to 2 degrees, at the edge of the city. 9.9 degrees at my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacoman25 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 It already got down to 2 degrees, at the edge of the city. 9.9 degrees at my house. DEN got down to 4 last night and had a high of just 30 today. Probably colder tomorrow, Sunday and Monday, at least for highs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIC Airport Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I probably had about 3" at the most where I live. However, about 10-15 miles to the south, there was hardly any accumulation. South of there in the heart of COS, there wasn't more than a coating, which all melted away. With the freezing fog overnight, woke up to a pretty spectacular view with all the ice crystals on the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 We got another 5" last night (see CoCoRAHs) with 4.3" at CSU. It is beginning to look like a winter wonderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardWx Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Well we picked up a quarter inch of snow last night making my seasonal total a pathetic 1.75 inches. Still though, models trending colder with the blast tomorrow, looks fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 I measured about 3.5" on my sidewalk.

icebreaker5221 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Looks like another light to mod event Sun night/Mon, and again on Thu! You guys are really hogging all the snow and cold so far this season. It's somewhat unusual to have so many upslope snow events for eastern CO during a Nina.

You guys are really hogging all the snow and cold so far this season. It's somewhat unusual to have so many upslope snow events for eastern CO during a Nina. Yeah... As much as I like snow I wish it would snow up in the mountains at the ski resorts where it'd be a bit more useful. Been pretty dry up there while we've been getting these snows. Luckily it's been cold, so they've been making snow, but you can't make snow everywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacoman25 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Picked up another 4" here. 8" on the ground, and a total of 21" snowfall so far for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Good solid snow depth out there. I went to the parade of lights downtown this evening so the recent snow was perfect timing for this event. Certainly made it feel like the holiday season for once.

Vandy Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 We got another 6-7 inches of snow with the last storm in Boulder. I walked from my place just up to the edge of the foothills and depths varied from about 10" to 15" right near the hills. We're forecast to get another 4-8" tonight. Loving this pattern! And yeah, completely unexpected given the La Nina! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacoman25 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I don't think this storm tonight will amount to much, except for the foothills and places further west like Boulder and Golden. And down by the Palmer Divide. Wouldn't surprise me if DEN gets less than 1"...up to this point they've actually done decent, with 8.7" for the month and almost 22" on the season. Almost what they had all of 2010-11! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost what they had all of 2010-11! Amazing how dry last year was, and how warm early. The ponds around us are freezing over a good 3-4 weeks earlier than last year. I think we got about 2-3 snowfalls >4" all winter last year and already we've had 4 this year! Now if Aurora would only plow, or at least dump a little sand, things would be good. Very light snow now, 18/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey I actually saw that going on above Provo too and I was wondering what was going on up there. Now I know! We picked up a 1/4 inch of very fine power snow last night, low of 16. Made it to 31 and any snow in the sun melted. Its down to 22 now, probably around 10 tonight. I hope to make it to single digets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT was snort my coffee funny. -4 at my house this AM. Last night coming home from work crossing the Cherry Creek Dam the moon illuminated some fantastic sea smoke (or whatever they call it inland) on the lake. This AM there was new ice covering most of the lake. Last year it was Jan 10th before this happened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
