As promised, a well-advertised spring-like snowstorm delivered the goods to (almost) the entire Front Range this week with over four feet of snow falling in the Foothills and up to 2 feet across the lower elevations. We take a look back at this odd, moisture-infused winter storm, discussing how the difficult forecast evolved during the lead up and ultimately how much rain and snow pummeled the area.

After a round of rain and thunderstorms Wednesday, everyone changed over to heavy snow Wednesday night with a dense blanket of sludge now covering the entire area as of Thursday morning. Though there will be a slight lull in the action for a few hours here, moderate to heavy snow is expected to redevelop soon with snow continuing non-stop into Friday morning. We are only now at approximately the halfway point of the storm. We take a look at how much snow has fallen already and discuss how much more is still to come!
The overarching forecast remains on-track this morning as a significant and highly impactful snowstorm bears down on the Front Range. We review a wide gamut of the most recent model data, with trends suggesting a boom scenario is more likely than a bust. Travel will become extremely difficult (and in some areas of the Foothills, impossible) Wednesday night into Thursday night, with some power outages expected. We give our final thoughts on the impressive winter storm about to slam the Denver Metro area. Buckle up and stay safe!
A high-impact, major El Niño snowstorm is about to unfold across the entire Front Range from late Wednesday into Friday. While we were a bit cautious of the eccentric model output over the last several days, all systems appear to be go for a significant, long-lasting dumping of heavy wet snow in the Denver Metro and nearby terrain. While there is still quite a range in the potential outcomes, we’ve seen enough to increase expected snowfall amounts across the board (again!). Read on as we sift through the latest model data and discuss the updated storm timeline and expected snowfall amounts. This one’s going to be a doozy!
