Winter Storm Recap: Up to 20 inches of snow for some, while others didn’t even receive a single flake!

February 21, 2025 / BoulderCAST Team / 0 Comments

Last night’s quick-hitting snowstorm hit with a bang in the southwest Denver Metro area and southern Foothills, with locally heavy snowfall up to 20″ falling in parts of Jefferson County. Elsewhere, snow amounts fell well in-line with our forecast, including some Front Range cities not receiving a single snowflake! We review how the storm unfolded, the snow totals from across the region and look ahead to the remarkably warm and sunny weather about to take center stage.

Winter Weather Update: Finally some actual snow to go with the brutal cold! Snow arrives late Thursday, heaviest across the southern Front Range

It’s been a brutally cold week in the Boulder-Denver area with temperatures remaining entirely below freezing since Saturday morning. Up until now, we haven’t had much snow to show for this Arctic plunge, but that changes later on Thursday as we finally get some moisture and a real storm system passing through to generate widespread snowfall across the Front Range. We discuss the latest forecast details, including how models have been trending the storm further south in recent runs which will make for a tricky forecast, one with a very sharp gradient in expected snowfall totals. Let’s take a look.

This Week in Colorado Weather: February 17, 2025

We hope you didn’t put your cold weather gear away for the season yet — another Arctic Blast will ooze into eastern Colorado this week! A strong Arctic high will entrench the region in bitter cold air through midweek, with highs during this period well below normal in the teens and 20s with lows in the single digits or slightly below zero. A few weather systems moving through in the westerly flow aloft will bring several chances for snow to the area, but for the most part accumulations will remain relatively light east of the Mountains. Temperatures will moderate by the end of the week and especially the weekend as ridging builds in from the west and the dense Arctic air retreats eastward with surprisingly warm weather not too far off on the horizon.

Arctic Blast Tuesday Update: The frigid air is already here, but the worst is still to come with several inches of snow and sub-zero temperatures on the way!

Our second Arctic Blast of 2025 is already underway! The first round of bitter cold has already gripped the Front Range, with light snow falling last night and temperatures plunging into single digits this morning. However, the worst is yet to come! Another wave of Arctic air is set to sweep through later on Tuesday, bringing several inches of snowfall and eventually sub-zero temperatures to the entire area. We discuss the latest forecast details, including when this next round of snow will begin and end, expected snowfall amounts across the area, and just how cold it will get in the days ahead.

Following a bitter cold and snowy January in the Front Range, the month of February so far has brought with it milder conditions. Last week we had our first 60-degree day in Boulder since just before Christmas, and even our first 70-degree day since late October. The warmer weather has been a welcomed reprieve, though it has rightfully confused some flowering plants across the area with early blooms. This warm weather was never going to last though — we’ve still got plenty of winter to go and this week will get us right back on-track with a two-part blast of Arctic air and snow headed for the Front Range. Read on for the latest details on the snowfall timing, amounts, and expected temperatures.
