Overall the week ahead will be quiet and mostly sunny with little to be concerned about weather-wise. The upcoming weekend looks rather nice as well. Read on for all the details.
The highly anticipated first snowfall of the season is now out of the way for everyone in the Front Range with a widespread blanket of snow having dumped on the area Saturday evening and overnight.

Let’s take a look at the totals and near-term forecast. We also announce the (many) winners of our 2023 First Snowfall Contest.
