Copper Mountain Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 2 years ago November 16, 2022
Cold with more snow on Thursday night
Summary
Currently, conditions are soft and temperatures are very cold.
Update
Tuesday was a mixed day with some breaks of sunshine, lots of clouds, and light snow showers. Conditions were soft thanks to the additional inch of snow that fell on Monday night as well as the continued cold temperatures.
Now on Wednesday morning, temperatures feel like mid-winter with readings of 0-5°F across the mountain.
Wednesday and Thursday will be similar days with high temperatures in the teens and a mix of clouds and some sunshine.
From Thursday evening through Friday late morning, a storm will track over the northeastern corner of Colorado. This is not a favorable track for us as most of the deeper snow will stay to our north and east, but we should be able to eke out some snow. The latest forecast models show anything from a dusting to about 3 inches, so keep an eye on Friday morning as there might be some powder to enjoy. Also on Friday, temperatures will continue to be cold with a high in the teens.
Saturday and Sunday will be sunny and warmer with highs in the 20s.
Monday and Tuesday will be sunny and even warmer with highs in the 30s.
On Wednesday, November 23, a storm tracking to our south could deliver a few flakes and will likely cool our high temperatures back into the 20s.
Then during the last 5-7 days of November, the main area of storminess will likely stay well to the northwest of Colorado which will leave us on the edge of the storm track and we'll have lower chances for snow.
In terms of terrain, I have no inside information, though the recent snowfall and continued favorable snowmaking conditions should allow for perhaps some additional terrain openings.
Thanks for reading!
