On Tuesday, a storm tracking across central Colorado delivered a burst of snow to us here in the northern mountains. The mid-mountain snow stake picked up 1 inch and the report from the summit was 7 inches, though wind gusts of 40-50mph at the summit meant that the summit snow stake was not very useful in showing the new snow.

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 2-6 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.
