Unfortunately it appears the winds weren't favorable for Boulder/Denver overnight which left us in a bit of a precip hole. The question at this point will be whether I can get to 20" - not sure it's going to happen. I was reading that apparently a Denver cyclone formed overnight and created a downslope for y'all.

Even the HRRR is showing a hole over parts of Boulder County. It gives a decent bit more precip to Denver throughout the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 my world is pretty white. I got a depth of 17" with some wind gusts of 25mph or more shaking the trees, which are caked in snow 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlothianWX Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Looks like Bellvue (NW of FoCo) is the current state winner with 28.5" @ 9am. Cheyenne was reporting 19.5" @ 8am. I have 10.5" @ 1030am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayjawintastawm Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share Posted March 14, 2021 Verifying for sure here. 7.7" new for a total of 11.5" and that was at 10:30. Shoveled, and probably have 2" more since then. Absolutely dumping, and windy. Thinking APA might be close to blizzard criteria, have to check. What a change!! Edit: If gusts >35 mph count, APA has had blizzard criteria for 5 straight hours. So, yes. Edit 2: Well, there we are. Blizzard warning for the I-25 corridor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
