A tiny recap of the two-phase snow storm Friday into Saturday, including a map of the verified snowfall totals.

This two-part winter storm delivered localized heavy convective snow Friday night (and even some thundersnow!), with totals of 3 to 12″ being reported in a narrow swath northwest of Denver stretching from Golden to Greeley by sunrise Saturday.

An additional 1-2″ of snow fell throughout Saturday into Saturday evening as widespread and persistent light snow continued throughout the second part of the winter storm.

Shown below is our snowfall forecast map issued Friday morning with actual storm totals overlaid. GreenΒ values indicate that our forecast verified to within one inch of the observed snowfall total.Β RedΒ numbers did not. When considering both parts of the winter storm, generally 2 to 6″ of snow fell across the lower elevations, though localized totals of up to 12″ were noted near Greeley and just west of Golden, owing to the unpredictable pockets of heavy snow Friday night. Officially, Boulder received 2.2″ of new snow from this weekend’s storm, while Denver (DIA) recorded 3.7″.

Updated seasonal snowfall totals are shown below.
