Hot on the heels of an extremely warm and dry end to 2024, January landed on the complete opposite end of the spectrum with well above normal snowfall and very cold conditions across much of Colorado, including here in Boulder. Here’s a quick and colorful graphical recap of our weather during January and how it relates to climatology.
While Punxsutawney Phil and Flatiron Freddy both saw their shadows Sunday morning solidifying their predictions for six more weeks of winter, we’ll start off February with wildly above normal temperatures in the 60s to lower 70s here in the Front Range. However, we are watching an Arctic cold front that will peskily waver back and forth across northeast Colorado as the week progresses leading to fluctuating temperatures and plenty of uncertainty. The brunt of the cold air, though, likely will not plunge into our area until sometime next week alongside increasing chances for snowflakes.
