Copper Mountain Daily Snow

Storm ends, a drier week coming up
Summary
Saturday delivered snow showers during the afternoon and evening. Sunday will trend drier and sunnier, and for the upcoming week, we'll see mostly dry weather.
Update
Saturday
Saturday started with dry weather, then we saw snow showers during the afternoon and evening. As of Sunday morning, the snow accumulation was about 4 inches at mid-mountain.
Sunday
Now early on Sunday morning, I see low clouds hanging around the valley with clear skies at the summit. With 4 inches of new snow and clearing skies, it should be a gorgeous morning on the hill! We should see sunshine all day with morning temperatures in the single digits which will rise to the teens.
Monday - Thursday
The weather should be dry for most of Monday to Thursday, though with a storm just to our north, we could see occasional clouds filtering the sunshine. The high temperature should be in the 20s on these days.
Friday
The storm to the north of Colorado should sag south and deliver snow any time between Thursday night and Saturday morning. With a little luck, there could be fresh snow on Friday and/or on Saturday morning.
Saturday
I think that we'll be between storms with dry weather, sunshine, and a high temperature in the 20s.
Sunday, Feb 18 - Sunday, Feb 25
Multiple storms will move close to or over Colorado from Sunday to Sunday, though I have zero confidence about the timing or strength of any of these systems. We'll figure it out at some point, but that point is not today. Stay tuned:-)
My next update will be Monday morning.
Thanks for reading!
