huronicane Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I don't know how we managed to be one of the wettest places in the country, relative to normal, in the last 90 days. It seems like we had lots of sunshine and warm temperatures. Maybe we had decent water content with the snow that hit us. Note: South Platte drainage basin back up above 100% of normal snowpack. Big snow totals west of the Divide should help that: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 For some reason the 4km NAM has fairly low snowfall amounts in the central and north mountains, but the regular GFS and NAM have 12-18 for several areas through Monday afternoon.

Chinook Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Narrow snow bands are hitting our area. The situation is much like Thursday night at this time. The radar has higher reflectivity areas this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Waterboy Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hey guys, I'm headed out to the Fort Collins/Greeley area to see family over Spring Break. I'm hoping to make it to the mountains one day to ski and maybe there will be some snow while I'm there. I was at Copper Mountain in March 2003 for the blizzard. That was the most incredible thing I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hey guys, I'm headed out to the Fort Collins/Greeley area to see family over Spring Break. I'm hoping to make it to the mountains one day to ski and maybe there will be some snow while I'm there. I was at Copper Mountain in March 2003 for the blizzard. That was the most incredible thing I've ever seen. Being on a mountain for the 2003 blizzard? Sounds exciting. I wasn't here then. I think the cold pattern just quit on us. It looks to be in the 60's for at least 4 out of the next 7 days. I can't find any upper level troughs in our area on the GFS at any time in the future. Maybe some 5820m heights at 500mb. That's summertime stuff. This is supposed to be our snowiest month, on average, but it certainly won't be, if we have all warm patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConiferMtnMan Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 About an inch of slushy snow at the house this morning. It was still coming down hard when I left for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayjawintastawm Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Nary a drop nor a flake in SE Metro Denver/Aurora. Snow is 99% gone. Will be quite dry again before long if we don't get something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 We had gray skies early today, then just partly cloudy. A few sprinkles. This was barely a cold front-- the high was 61. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Yesterday we had 80 degrees in Fort Collins, This is one of the earliest 80's I can remember. I may never have seen an 80 degree temperature before March 16 in my lifetime, Fort Collins or elsewhere. Now it is a frosty 35 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huronicane Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I was in downtown Chicago for their heatwave in March 2012. Went to the Great Lakes Operational Meteorology Workshop and presented about Michigan tornadoes, and it was pushing 90 those couple weeks. Definitely something I would like to never experience again. That being said, Dairy Queen's Free Cone Day came at the perfect time. Had some chocolate ice cream at lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
