On Wednesday, the storm that brought snow to Colorado tracked far to the south of our state, and we only managed to eke out about 1 inch at mid-mountain. This snow fell from Wednesday late afternoon into Wednesday evening.

On Thursday, yesterday's storm is now very far to the south of Colorado, and this will leave us with mostly dry weather (perhaps a lingering shower?) and a high temperature in the teens.

On Friday, the next storm will track across northern Colorado, and we should see snow from Friday late morning or midday through Friday late evening. This storm is unlikely to bring a lot of snow, but it should deliver a 2-5 inch refresh with low-end powder possible on Friday's last chair and/or Saturday's first chair. 

On Saturday, expect dry weather with a high temperature in the mid-20s.

Then on Sunday, we will have windy conditions with summit gusts of 40-50+ mph, and we will also see possible snow showers starting on Sunday, March 5, and continuing through Wednesday, March 8. These snow showers will be produced by a storm that stalls over the west coast and sends bits of moisture and energy eastward into northern Colorado.

Looking further ahead, there is a chance that this stalled storm over the west coast will move east and bring us a higher chance for snow between about Thursday, March 9, and about Saturday, March 11. I will keep you updated if the longer-range data continues to trend toward a snowy end of next week.
