Forecast Discussion:
We had snow! Looking up and down the Front Range, Ft Collins (Figure 1) had a coating to 1/2 inch of snow. Estes Park only received 1-2 inches. Denver got hit by a snow band for a while and picked up 4-8 inches on the southern and eastern side of the city (Figure 2). Longmont received about 1 to 1.5 inches while Boulder received 1.5 to 3 inches (Figure 3).
That storm is creating blizzard conditions in Kansas and Nebraska as it moves east leaving us dry and warming quickly (Figure 4).
The longer range forecast:
We stay 'warm' through the end of the month, then there is another temperature drop to below freezing highs after March starts with snow making a multi-day comeback (Figure 5). We'll keep an eye on it all together!
