Thursday will be cold, some snow for Friday

Summary

Dress warmly on Thursday as temperatures will be in the single digits.

Update

Wednesday was mostly a dud with little snow during the day and about 2 inches falling during a short period in the afternoon. On Wednesday night, we saw just a few more flakes with little additional accumulation.

Storm total snowfall from Monday night to Thursday morning is about 9 inches, which isn't terrible for a storm that had a poor setup for us, but I thought that we might be able to eke out a little bit more.

Thursday during the day will be mostly dry and very cold with a high temperature in the single digits.

Then on Thursday night, a storm will sneak into northern Colorado and we should get lucky with 1-4 inches of fluffy snow by Friday morning. Friday will be another cold day with a high temperature in the single digits.

Saturday will be dry, sunny, and warmer with a high temperature in the teens. Then Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday will be warm with highs in the 30s. We could see a few flakes on Monday night into Tuesday but I doubt that we will see meaningful accumulation.

Looking far ahead, a stormy weather pattern will develop over the western US and the Rockies during early March and we could see snow any time between March 3 to March 8 and maybe beyond. However, at this point, it's too early to know how this storminess will impact us here in Colorado and which days have the best chance for snow.

Thanks for reading and please check back each morning for daily updates!
