The Arctic chill is REAL this morning as temperatures hover around zero degrees with wind chills much colder than that! We provide an update on the blast of winter currently engulfing the Front Range, including a review of the snowfall totals so far, the expected record cold temperatures to be challenged in the coming days, and a look at how much snow is still to come.

The incredibly snowy start to 2022 continued with yet another snowstorm across the Front Range last evening. The storm played out as we expected with up to 10″ of snow falling in some locations. Let’s take a look at both the storm and seasonal snowfall totals and the current status of the drought. We also peek ahead to the next Arctic blast targeting Colorado early next week.
As of Wednesday morning, the heaviest snow is now behind us, but this snowstorm is not completely over and done with yet. We review the snow totals so far, discuss how much more to expect through the day, and take a look at what is shaping up to be the coldest night of the season ahead.
Adding in the few inches that fell on Thursday, Boulder has now notched nearly two feet of snowfall in the month of January, the most since 2014. This recent snow event was just one of many small winter storms to impact the Front Range in the weeks following the devastating Marshall Fire. Colorado has seen slight drought improvement, but there is definitely much more needed. In this update we discuss the recent snow totals, how January as a whole is shaping up, the locations that are seeing drought conditions improve, why La Niña will make further recovery more challenging and much more.
Moderate to heavy snow arrived to the Denver Metro area right on-schedule Tuesday making for a messy morning commute. While most of us received our allocated amount of snowfall, localized ridiculous totals were observed in far eastern Colorado on Tuesday — up to 30″ in some cases near the Kansas border. This region was expecting much less snow than this which created a dangerous situation for livestock and on the roadways. We review the storm totals and discuss why this historic snow fell in that region.
