MidlothianWX Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Just switched over to snow. 33 degrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Posting from Florida, but looks like 8-10" so far with apparently that much more coming. Though I never have faith in back end forecasts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValpoVike Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Despite the slow, late start of heavier snow last night I received about 20" overnight. The Point forecast shows an additional 10-18" coming with Act Two this afternoon and evening. I share Smokey's cynical view of today's additional amounts, but we'll see. Regardless, I'm pretty happy with what I received already so it is all gravy from here on. Looking at storm reports, I noted that Ft Collins only received about 1". That is a sharp gradient from here to there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlothianWX Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I have around 8-9" in North Boulder at the moment. Hoping the back end comes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. 8.5" in Gunbarrel with at least .5" compaction since the lull began. Hoping to break a foot with what's to come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlothianWX Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The official total in Boulder at 7am was 8.9". The models are suggesting another 6-12" for me so we'll see what happens. Would be fun to break 20! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidlothianWX Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Currently at hour 21 of snow here in Boulder with about 15" total. It's basically been 32-33 the entire storm. Still hoping to crack 20"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValpoVike Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 No worries on the backend amounts anymore. This is getting ridiculous. I have no idea how much has fallen here and I lost track many hours ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how much has fallen here and I lost track many hours ago. Yeah, this very well could be the longest duration of steady snow I've ever seen IMBY. Too bad so much was lost to rain and sun angle, otherwise it might have been an all-timer here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlothianWX Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Eldora reporting nearly 4 feet from this event, their highest total since 2003. They'll be closed again tomorrow. Might try to get up there Saturday (along with everyone else in Boulder). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlothianWX Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Storm total in Boulder is 21.9", making this the 12th largest event of all-time. This is now the third 20"+ event since 2019. Eldora received 46", their highest total since at least 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValpoVike Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Models showing another decent foothills hit for late weekend and Monday. Not nearly the QPF as last storm, but still respectable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nearly the QPF as last storm, but still respectable. Centennial Airport (KAPA) got almost 3" of water from the last storm, getting into the early thunderstorm with hail as we did. I'm realizing that my rain gauge is absolutely horrible at measuring snow as it melts- the rain amount was spot on, but 16" of snow after that yielded only 0.13" of water. Umm... no. And it wasn't even very windy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 The GFS and ECMWF both have 980mb in Colorado on Sunday, so that's some incredible agreement on that feature. Surely, there will be snow for a lot of high elevations, and there's a decent chance of 30mph winds the Front Range cities. I'm sure future models runs will have a better forecast for snow for the Front Range cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, there are always delays on Sundays - I think all that needs to happen is winds > 10 kts or relative humidity > 50%. Something like that.
