The snowiest January since 2014 has put a “normal” snow season back within reach as drought conditions improve

January 28, 2022 / Ben Castellani

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.

Storm Recap: Historic and dangerous (for livestock) snow fell in Colorado on Tuesday, but not in the Front Range

January 26, 2022 / BoulderCAST Team

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.

The week begins quiet on Monday, but things turn notably snowy and much colder by Tuesday. We’re tracking a winter storm that will bring accumulating snow to all of eastern Colorado Tuesday morning into the afternoon hours with a dicey morning commute all but guaranteed. We discuss the timing of the storm and expected snowfall amounts across the region. Further out, another round of snow could accompany a weak system on Thursday, but that is still evolving. Read on for all the details.

Premium Storm Update (1/25/22 6:00AM): We do a final check of the latest model runs and how they compare to what is actively occurring across northeast Colorado early Tuesday morning. We give our final thoughts on the storm and discuss the next chance of light snow waiting in the wings for Thursday. READ HERE
