Copper Mountain Daily Snow

Heads up, there may be fresher snow! Read the latest Copper Mountain Daily Snow

Light snow Wednesday, drier Thursday

Summary

A storm tracking far to the south should bring light snow on Wednesday, then we'll see a brief break on Thursday before another storm arrives on Friday.

Update

On Tuesday, a storm tracking across central Colorado delivered decent snow to us (more snow fell just south of the mountain) and we saw about 2 inches at mid-mountain.

Today on Wednesday, another storm will move across Colorado and this system will track far to our south. We should be able to eke out light snow especially during the midday and afternoon as some of the storm's energy pushes to the north, and this energy should result in a few inches of accumulation on Wednesday into Wednesday night.

Then most of Thursday will be dry, and this will be followed by a fast-moving storm tracking across northern Colorado on Friday and Friday night. We could see 2-5 inches of snow from this Friday system with low-end powder possible on Friday afternoon and also on Saturday morning.

Looking ahead, Saturday, March 4 should be dry, then we should see showers and some snow accumulation between Sunday, March 5, and Wednesday, March 8 due to energy and moisture breaking off from the main area of storminess over northern California and tracking east into Colorado. After that, there could be a more significant snowfall sometime between Thursday, March 9, and Monday, March 13.

Thanks for reading!
