Monday was dry, then on Monday night, snow fell, but we just missed more intense bands of snow to the east and the west, and we only received 1 inch on the mid-mountain snow stake.

The snow on Monday night was the first part of the storm.

From Tuesday morning through Wednesday evening, moisture wrapping around the storm and into the northern mountains of Colorado will keep the snow going. The latest forecast models have (unfortunately) lowered expectations for the storm, but we should see 3-6+ additional inches, and this should keep snow conditions sneakily soft through Thursday morning.

On Thursday and Friday, clouds will hang around and there could be snowflakes in the air, though snow accumulations should be minimal. High temperatures will be chilly, in the single digits.

Looking farther ahead, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday will be dry and somewhat warmer with high temperatures in the teens and 20s.

Then our next chance for a storm should be around the middle of next week, any time between Tuesday, December 20, and Thursday, December 22.
