Copper Mountain Daily Snow

End of the cycle
Summary
Wednesday's snowfall created fun conditions, and now we'll head into a period of chilly temperatures and times of just light snowfall.
Update
Wednesday's northwest flow delivered 3 inches of snow, though we did not get lucky and get an upside surprise, which is something that can happen during northwest flow events.
The weather forecast from Thursday, January 19 through about Saturday, January 28 is for chilly temperatures and maybe a few periods of light snow. High temperatures each day will be in the single digits or teens, and our best chance for snowfall will be a few inches on Sunday into Monday and also maybe a few inches sometime during the middle of next week.
Looking further ahead, there is a chance for a stronger storm or storm cycle during the final 3-4 days of January, though that is 10+ days away, so we'll need to wait at least a few more days before we can have a shred of confidence in the forecast. In the meantime, conditions will be soft with a deep base, which is as much as we can hope for in between storm cycles.
