Colorado Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 3 years ago September 9, 2020
Storm totals through Tuesday evening
Summary
Snowfall totals across Colorado are between a dusting and 8 inches as of Tuesday night at 8 pm. The best chance for the most snow on Tuesday night will be at Wolf Creek with up to an additional 10 inches.
Update
Here's a quick Tuesday evening update on snow totals as of 8 pm.
7-8" Monarch (SNOTEL & Cam)
6-8" Wolf Creek (SNOTEL & Cam)
5-8" Rocky Mountain National Park (SNOTEL)
3-8" Aspen Area Mountains (Sensor & Cam)
3-5" Crested Butte & Irwin Cat Skiing (Cam)
2-4" Arapahoe Basin & Loveland (Cam)
Most of this snow fell during Tuesday afternoon and evening as the band of intense snow moved from west-to-east across Colorado.
For the rest of Tuesday night, the band of intense snow should push east of most mountains and therefore additional accumulations should be light – just a dusting to a few more inches.
The outliner could be Wolf Creek because the band of intense snow might pivot and stall near or over the mountain. This means Wolf Creek could see at least another few inches, and if luck is on their side, they might be able to grab another 10+ inches by Wednesday sunrise.
Thanks for reading and I hope that you're enjoying the sight of snow as much as I am!
