boulderrr Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 My thermometer got down to -12F last night right before midnight and then it stopped registering... so much for those lithium batteries. By morning, it was working again as it had warmed up to a balmy -4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayjawintastawm Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 -7.9 at 5:35 AM at my house for the low, KAPA (Centennial Airport) had -13 just 3 miles away. Total snow a paltry 3 inches. Went for my usual run before sunrise- beautiful colors in the sky and no competition. Freezing fog blanketed the still-unfrozen Cherry Creek Reservoir.

mayjawintastawm Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I would have liked to throw a pan of hot water up in the air there last night- saw a video from the Mt Washington (NH) Observatory doing that a few years ago when it was -30 F and it was pretty amazing. DIY snowmaking. They said it has to be -30 or lower for it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Finally got below zero at my house this morning... hoping for 3-6" of fluffy snow tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It vaporized instantly and floated away. We got down to a low of -17 last night up in Ned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 The GFS has been showing about 0.1" to 0.2" of QPF on Saturday-Sunday with that upslope surge with the arctic front. We may have 2"+ of snow around Denver. I wouldn't be surprised if Jefferson Co. gets 4-8" out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayjawintastawm Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 We drove through the graupel yesterday on the way to DIA to drop off my inlaws. I think I heard a rumble of thunder too. Fortunately it was out of the area by the time they took off- must not have been too fun to fly that hour. My inlaws insisted it was sleet, despite my insistence that we basically never get sleet here (and why). I was about ready to stop the car and give them a handful...

Is there much hope for new powder over next 7-10 days there....at all. Thank u for any time u spend answering this question (if u can)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 They have a winter weather advisory for that area tomorrow. It may be mostly dry after that. Most of Colorado is at about 100% of normal for mountain snowpacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayjawintastawm Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Now I know why Utah resorts typically have a small discount during January-early February... climatologically colder and drier than later in the winter. Still, should not be bad. The real snow droughts of big chunks of the past couple winters are not there this year so far. For a New Englander, should be perfect. If Deer Valley/Park City is not ideal (it's a bit lower and warmer, and the mascara in DV may run ), have your friend head down to Alta (my personal favorite) or Brighton. Not far and often better snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N. OF PIKE Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks guys, ill stay posted. Look'd like gfs had some decent qpf way ouuut around the 12'th (jan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 FOR FOOTHILLS AND PLAINS...INCREASING UPSLOPE AND MID LEVEL ASCENTWILL BRING A DECENT SHOT OF SNOW TO MOST LOCATIONS...MAINLY IN ANDNEAR FOOTHILLS. LATEST MODELS STILL SHOWING AMOUNTS IN THE 1 TO 4INCH RANGE. NAM ON THE LOW END...GFS THE HIGHER END ACROSS THEDENVER AREA SOUTH OVER THE PALMER DIVIDE. THERE IS STILL SOMECHANCE FOR A BAND OF HEAVIER SNOW SETTING UP SOMEWHERE ACROSS THEAREA BY THE AFTERNOON AND COULD HELP PRODUCE MORE SNOW. FOR NOWWILL CONTINUE WITH THE LOWER AMOUNTS AND WILL WAIT TO SEE WHATDEVELOPS BEFORE ISSUING ANY ADVISORIES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 The NAM has Fort Collins getting down to 1F on Monday morning. I suppose this is not too crazy considering the air mass. This time, it doesn't seem as if this cold snap will be as long as the early December one. We should have 3 days below freezing, which would be pretty bad for November or February.

Chinook Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 It was in the mid-40's with downslope winds before midnight. Now we have 2 to 3" of snow here. It's amazing how quickly the temperature changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
