was snowing on Vail Pass earlier today, the front has not really pushed thru yet, look for warm temps and WIND until it does...sometime later tonight. Most of the energy stayed north. I am stoked for snow and done with warm clear days, but (get ready....) I know it will come in time.
No you don't, someone just told you to say that.
GONNA BE 10" AT bERTHOUD PaSS TOMORRoW. iT'S GOING TO BE SICK!
whats the deal? what's the buzz? cameron pass west of fort collins got 4", anything better than that south?
complete bust. knew it would be.
Looks pretty sunny and mild for awhile now. Some moisture late into this next weekend and early next week perhaps, but looks subtropical thus pretty high snow levels.
Its snowing in town!!! Just starting to collect, but some big, fat flakes!
It's dumping big fat flakes. We'll see how it lasts. Maybe I'll hit up Hagerman tomorrow for some late October turns.
Not much chance for snow after tomorrow. The next large scale low-pressure over the West appears to be during the first week in November. Hopefully, this will kickstart the season!
JUST SNOW ALREADY
Warm and sunny all week and into next weekend. Looking like it did last fall....if that equates to the same winter that would be $$$
yeah High pressure lined up for a long time, im telling myself to just stay positive
Get out on the mtn bike and enjoy it. :)
I've noticed that so many more people have been out on the trails lately... everyone wants to get it in before the snow onslaught
pattern change in store for early next week as the westerlies will punch through. fairly broad trough and with current model orientation, the San Juans looked favored.
Crested Butte's about to get some snow Sun-Tues:

looks like a good shot of snow Tues-Wed. I would hope for a foot above say 10k. The real positive part is that it looks colder and like systems might stay on a normal track for awhile.
Anyone know the long range snowfall forecast for I-70 resorts in CO? Maybe through about this Dec or Jan.
Chance of snow.Quote:

crossing fingers for more low pressure....how're we looking in the high country boys?
Maybe an inch or two up high so far. The radar is starting to get more active.Quote:

That observation is actually at Copper Mountain @ 12,400 ft.Quote:

Good Site for tracking snow depth in CO...
[URL="http://www.wunderground.com/StateSnowDepth.asp?state=CO"]
From Weather.com
Rain and mountain snow will accompany this system along with significantly lowering snow levels. In fact the snow levels in the Washington Cascades will be 4000 feet by Sunday.
As the system exits into the southern Plains Monday, snow will linger in parts of Wyoming and Colorado.
The barrage of storms will not quit in the Pacific Northwest as at least 3 more storms of varying intensities take aim on the region Monday through next Thursday.

I'm not too familiar with the exact patterns of weather in Colorado region so I don't know if the strongest storms come from the PNW, but it can hurt that there will be a bunch of storms coming across washington and down into CO....
in my best billy madison voice, "Jackpot"
NRCS says that snow depth at berthoud is about 4"
Loveland basin about 13"
and Jones pass about 13"
if I'm reading this thing correctly...here's the link, feel free to correct me if I'm being a tard

this storm doesn't look real promising right now. Next weekend looks like high pressure and warm temps.
I agree with your latter assessment, but disagree about this week.Quote:

Two interesting NOAA observations.
1) Good for them in upgrading the point forecast with Google maps. Makes for a great interactive feature that really lets you zoom in on a locale.
2) Did they not issue a Winter Outlook this year? Usually, it comes out in the middle of October and is updated at the middle of this month, but it is not to be found in their Expert Assessments link. :confused:
yeah, this doesn't sound too bad:Quote:

FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW TO THE MOUNTAINS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY. EXPECT WINDY CONDITIONS IN AND NEAR THE FRONT RANGE
MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS AS WELL. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH
THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY OR THURSDAY NIGHT BRINGING COLDER
CONDITIONS AND A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE PLAINS.
