Sunday was mostly sunny and warm, and now on Monday morning, the snow stake shows no new snow.

But the snow stake won't be dry for long.

The forecast for the upcoming storm hasn't changed much and that's a good thing because plenty of snow is on the way.

On Monday, we'll start with dry weather, with snow arriving later in the afternoon or in the evening. Then from Monday night through Wednesday, the storm will strengthen to the east of Colorado, wrapping moisture and snow counterclockwise around the storm and over the mountain.

On Tuesday morning, there should be 3-6+ inches of fresh snow.

More importantly, snow will continue to fall on Tuesday, Tuesday night, Wednesday, and maybe even Wednesday night.

With snow falling for ~48 hours, snow totals will be significant and snow conditions will become sneakily deep even if snowfall during any one day or night isn't more than 3-6 inches.

Keep your eye on Tuesday and Wednesday as powder days will snow falling through the day and likely 'free refills'.

Thursday morning should also be soft with maybe some fresh powder as well. Total snowfall could be 1-2 feet.

Looking further ahead, December 15-17 should be dry, then during the December 18-25 timeframe, the most likely forecast is for cool-ish temperatures with possible times of lighter snow.
