Chinook Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Yep, that's what the forecast discussion and the DNR sounding said. Inversion of 15 degrees C, not too far up. Now things are breaking and Denver is in the 30's. I believe Fort Collins got 3.5" from the event this week. It took a long time. That brings me up to 36.2" for the season. 2.0" Mon-Tue 1.2" Tue-Wed 0.3" Wed-Thu total: 3.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Today, we had the low 60's, which was the warmest temp since the AFC championship day. The snow completely melted on the north sides of the streets. The wind hit about 50mph near the foothills. We had a bit of rain in the last hour, which is highly unusual for the winter months.

mayjawintastawm Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Thunder every minute or so for the past 10 minutes here, a few lightning flashes, temps in the mid 50s. Of course no rain or snow, that's basically forbidden. But we will see what the next hour or so brings. Welcome to February??!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like a summer pop up thunderstorm cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayjawintastawm Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 OK, so the temp dropped like 18 degrees in 20 minutes (from 51 at 8:05 PM to 33 at 8:25), we had a minute and a half of rain, then snow. Snowing moderately with still an occasional rumble of thunder. Ground coated but ground temp is warm so probably won't accumulate much. Nice front! Now we need a couple days of good upslope to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Winds over 40mph have been common here, with several days of gusts above 40mph, and above 50mph near the foothills. Fort Collins never got the snow you guys talked about, just clouds and wind that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayjawintastawm Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Co-workers from Parker told me yesterday that they got about 4 inches in 3 hours. We got just under an inch. There was a big blob of precip that came in from the northeast and merged just south of E-470 with a little convective cell that came down over Denver from the NW between 6:30 and 8:30 PM. But consistently windy throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 8 degrees in Cheyenne, 40 degrees in Laramie. Laramie is higher elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 We got about 2" here. It was snowing very hard at about 7PM. Got down to nearly 0 degrees, but now it is above freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newtownwx Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Interesting system approaching the region this weekend. Will be fascinating to watch the battle between the cold air and terrain. 0z NAM run doesn't look very promising if you're a snow lover, but the 0z GFS paints some impressive QPF totals over Steamboat and high points south. Hoping for a solid 6" event here in Laramie, fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayjawintastawm Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 wow, I have not seen a zillion soundings but don't think I've ever seen one where the slope is pretty much only positive with height. Looks like a mirror image! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 that's nearly isothermal, actually we got freezing drizzle at night (mostly not forming a glaze). Now we have 2 or 2.5" of snow. this seems to have been a pretty heavy band at 8-9AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 The NAM and also SREF have quite a bit of snow for Larimer County and Cheyenne for tomorrow night and Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SluggerWx Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The winds really cranked up mid afternoon here in Stapleton. Still howling. Sent from my RM-927_nam_vzw_100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
