Copper Mountain Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 4 years ago January 27, 2020
Update
It’s Monday morning and snow will begin to fall during the mid-morning hours. Expect snow to continue throughout the entire day with 2-4 inches of accumulation. The best and softest turns will likely be on Monday midday and Monday afternoon once the new snow has had time to accumulate.
Monday night is a wildcard. Some models show a favorable setup (lingering moisture + a wind from the northwest) continuing after lifts close and through about midnight. This setup could add just a few more inches, or we could see a surprise and see another 2-4+ inches of fluffy snow. Keep your eye on the mid-mountain snow stake camera to see how Monday evening transpires.
Tuesday morning could be fun with the soft snow from Monday and the new snow from Monday night. Most of the day will be dry with a mix of some sun, some clouds, and maybe a snow shower.
The next storm will hit Colorado from Wednesday through Thursday. This system will track far south of our state and this is not a good set up for us to get a lot of snow. Maybe we’ll eke out a few inches, if we’re lucky, but I am keeping my expectations low.
From Friday through next Monday (February 3rd), we should see dry weather most of the time. There is a chance for some snow on Friday into Saturday, but this chance is low. Then on Sunday into Monday we have a high chance to enjoy two days of warm weather before the snow returns.
The next storm should hit around Tuesday, February 4th and there could be another system later during that week or around the weekend of February 8th-9th.
Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
