ConiferMtnMan Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 About 16" so far in Pine Junction. Visibility still around 1/2 mile, so could pick up a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Maybe a slushy inch of snow here in Boulder. A lot of liquid though. It will be great for the plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValpoVike Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 This storm has been a dud up here in Estes valley, only about 6" so far with flurries currently and the sun trying hard to break out. A rather beautiful snowfall, but under performing. I did not follow early models, but it looks like the low tracked a bit south? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Some snow reports and radar. Must be more like a blizzard by Colorado Springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontranger8 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 About 7-8" of very compact sludge here in Westminster. I'm a little higher than most of the metro area at 5460'. Snow just started sticking to the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindancewx Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Scattered rain here, snow higher up - but interesting to note that this appears to be the third coldest April 16th in 100 years or so of complete temperature data here - high of 50F/51F is behind only 1976 and 1924 for Albuquerque on April 16th. It's the equivalent of an early December or late January day here in terms of when this might be average. Wouldn't be surprised if we go over to snow if another band comes in overnight. 44F at 5 pm is cold here for Apr 16th at 5 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayjawintastawm Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 10" on the nose total here at 3:30 PM, a bit more since. Radar not totally giving up yet either. I drove from DTC/Centennial to downtown DEN and back three times today ferrying kids to things and went from winter to spring to winter to spring to winter to winter to winter. I bet there will be a few measurements from the Monument/Black Forest area that are close to 20". COS area will do well too. Sorry for those north of town, this one has been weird.

Chinook Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Fort Collins has really missed the snow so far- we have about 0.1" with some big flakes right now. Temps were above freezing due to downsloping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you guys cashed in parts of the metro and south. All in all, a pretty good winter so no complaints on missing the big dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontranger8 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Radar is filling in again nicely. No sun angle to limit accumulations now. This thing isn't over yet. 11" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Well, we weren't totally missed by moisture. There has been possibly up to 0.75" of rain/snow here. Snow is building up on elevated surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frontranger8 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 The Evergeen/Conifer area will likely end up with over 3' from this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConiferMtnMan Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 The Evergeen/Conifer area will likely end up with over 3' from this storm. Not much further until my deck rails are completely under snow. I'm about 10 miles SW of Conifer and typically receive much less snow, but we're probably at 25+" at the moment and coming down at a good clip. I have heard reports already over 3' on Conifer Mountain (about 10,000') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 storm reports since Fri morning. I heard that Breckenridge got 14" in just 6 hours yesterday- today I expect that area got something significant, like 12" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 FTG storm total radar - up to 5.5" southwest of Denver. Actual storm total values in central Colorado are higher than this shows, due to radar terrain blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayjawintastawm Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 17.7" storm total, dang heavy, probably about 2.5" liquid. This one would be one for the John Deere beast back in Central MA that we sold when we moved.Pics are not as impressive as those from Conifer/Evergreen so not really worth posting, except for the 4 and a half foot snowbank from shoveling that probably has 6 inches of water in it, easy.
