Congratulations to the winners of the BoulderCAST 2020 “Second” Snowfall Contest!

October 27, 2020 / BoulderCAST Team

If you recall, Mother Nature threw a greasy wrench into our usual “First Snow” contest this year, delivering the earliest ever snowfall in Boulder’s history before we even announced the annual contest! But the show must go on, and this year predictions surrounded the date and amount of Boulder’s second snowfall of the season. With that having now come and gone this week, it’s time to announce the winners of the contest!

The wait is over…PowderCAST is back!

There may not be much white stuff in the High Country yet, at least the real stuff, but we are picking up a little bit of snow headed to Colorado’s mountains this weekend! This is great news, as many local ski resorts will be opening up in the coming weeks, with or without Mother Nature’s cooperation. If you aren’t aware, we offer a suite of ski forecast products powered by machine learning called PowderCAST. Read on to learn more and get a jump start on the first “POW day” of the season, whenever that may be!

When will our second snow occur? Enter your prediction for a chance to win! ❄️☃️

6th Annual BoulderCAST Snowfall Contest
*Contest is now closed to entries*

Well, Mother Nature threw us a giant curve-ball this year with our earliest accumulating snowfall on record in Boulder and 2nd earliest in Denver back on September 8th. Thus, this year’s snowfall contest will revolve around predicting Boulder’s second snowfall event of the season, since the elusive first one was already spoiled for us! We provide a brief overview of Boulder’s early season snowfall climatology, discuss the snowfall outlook for the next week or two, and then pose a question…“When will Boulder’s SECOND measurable snow occur this year?” Submit your guess for a chance to win an assortment of prizes. Those who get closest to the date of our second snow win!

It’s OUR birthday: Five years down, here’s to many more!

April 1, 2020 / BoulderCAST Team

It’s hard to believe that it has been five full-years since we began the BoulderCAST journey. We’ve come a long way since, transitioning from an idea envisioned by a few CU-Boulder grad students and alumni…to becoming a leader in Boulder and Denver weather that members of our community depend on today. While an anniversary is a great time to reflect on what we have accomplished already, we’re also looking ahead to the future.

Right on schedule, a series of heavy snow bands progressed across the Front Range Thursday morning producing the season’s first snow for everyone alongside record cold temperatures. We take a look at snow totals and the impressive temperature records from across the area. We also announce the winners of our 2019 First Snow Contest.

“First Snow” Contest entries are in, but no white stuff on the horizon…

Thanks to everyone that entered our 2019 First Snow Contest. We briefly review the entries, which actually favor a later date than Boulder’s climatology would suggest. Contest prizes and recognition will be awarded in the days following our first dumping of snow, BIG or SMALL!
