Copper Mountain Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 4 years ago February 26, 2020
Update
Tuesday was a wonderful winter day with soft snow on the hill, light snow showers during the day, and temperatures topping out around 10°F. We saw a dusting of new snow during the day plus an additional dusting of snow on Tuesday evening.
Wednesday morning will start cold with temperatures between -10°F and 0°F. Thanks to beautifully sunny skies for most of the day, we’ll warm into the mid-to-upper teens by midday and afternoon.
From Wednesday evening through Thursday midday a weak storm will bring clouds and snow showers. We’ll likely see a coating to 2 inches of snow during this time. While it will not be big powder, Thursday morning might offer a few fresh flakes to enjoy. Temperatures on Thursday should start warmer, around 10°F, and rise to the low 20s during the afternoon with some peeks of sunshine.
Friday and Saturday will be mostly sunny, dry, and warmer with high temperatures in the upper 20s to low 30s. Enjoy the sunshine, which has been a rarity during February as we’ve seen snow on 16 of 26 days of the month so far.
The next storm should bring snow starting on Sunday, March 1st and snow will likely continue through at least Wednesday, March 4th. There will be two storms moving through during these four days, and it’s still a bit far away to start talking about the details of these systems. At this point, we can be encouraged that snow should fall for multiple days with perhaps one or two solid powder days early next week.
Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
