Steamboat Daily Snow

By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 6 years ago January 19, 2019
Update
Big Powder
What a storm! The total was 26-32 inches from mid-mountain to the summit. Friday was an incredible powder day with about half of this total snow available for first chair with the other half falling through the day. We did see another 1-3 inches at the summit after lifts closed, so for Saturday morning there should be some fluff on top of Friday’s tracks. Have a blast!
Next Storm
We should see snow begin on Monday midday or early afternoon and continue through late Monday night. I’ll stick with my forecast of 3-6 inches and Tuesday morning should offer soft freshies and cold temperatures in the single digits.
Rest of Next Week
We could see additional storms clip northern Colorado and this could bring light snow on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Snow amounts during any one 24-hour period may not be that deep, but multiple days of light snow can make conditions sneakily superb, so keep an eye on the end of next week.
End of January
Storms may continue to clip northern Colorado with light snow at times through the end of the month. If the storms head a bit further east, we’ll see less or no snow, and if the storms head a bit further west, we’ll see more snow.
Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
