For Larimer and Boulder Counties Between 6000 and 9000 Feet:

Winter Storm Warning remains in effect from 6 PM this evening to 6 PM MDT Wednesday...

* timing... snow will be widespread this evening and continue through Wednesday afternoon.

* Snow accumulations... 10 to 20 inches... heaviest along east facing slopes.

I live just southwest of Boulder, near the line between the 15-18" and 18-20" predicted totals.

It's been a very snowy spring here... the dark blue line in the plot above shows snowpack for this year. You can see how our April snows have put us almost within striking distance of our normal snowpack (the red line), though significant melting has occurred over the past week. It will be interesting to see the little bump we get from tonight's/tomorrow's storm.

Spring snow on the way

Posted by: MrMixon, 8:00 PM GMT on April 08, 2013

We've been having very spring-ish weather lately. I saw the first non-frozen precipitation (rain) of the year at home near Nederland last weekend (March 30th). Last night we got some of the largest graupel I've ever seen... marble size and even a few larger pieces. I put a couple in the fridge and might post some pictures if I get to it tonight.

We're on tap for another shot of precipitation tomorrow as a strong low pressure system tracks through the F...

Fire and snow. Must be spring in Colorado.

Posted by: MrMixon, 3:18 AM GMT on March 23, 2013

Really hate seeing pictures like this coming out of Colorado in March...

1348-acre Galena Fire, just west of Fort Collins.

Yeesh, that was close...

The good news is no homes were lost and they have the fire 100% contained. Plus we've got precip coming down right now...

We've gotten about an inch so far this evening. It tape...

The warm before the storm.

Posted by: MrMixon, 5:28 PM GMT on March 07, 2013

It looks like the Front Range is in the cross-hairs for the next big winter storm (does this one have a name yet?). They've raised a Winter Storm Watch for most Front Range communities, including Nederland, Boulder, and Denver. I particularly like the NWS' verbiage on travel:

"hazardous winter driving conditions will plague drivers in the mountains and foothills from Friday night through Saturday night."

Plague? They sure aren't sugar-coatin...

Some brief snow showers after a very warm weekend

Posted by: MrMixon, 7:50 PM GMT on March 04, 2013

Temperatures in Nederland stayed ABOVE freezing all night this past Saturday... it was pretty surreal to wake up in the wee hours of Sunday morning (around 2:30am) and hear the drip-drip-drip of snow melting... Sunday was impressively windy. The result of Saturday's warmth and Sunday's wind is MUCH less snow in the Front Range foothills, though we still have plenty on the ground at the 8,000' level.

Radar shows a pretty thick band of snow moving south a...
