Caveat: Both the mid-mountain and summit snow stakes stopped showing living images around Tuesday midday, so I am piecing things together the best that I can.

Tuesday delivered a quick round of snow during the morning and midday with about 5-7 inches of snow across the mountain.

Tuesday night then brought another round of snow with 5 inches of accumulation.

Now on Wednesday morning, we are seeing a break in the storm with light or no snow falling, and conditions first thing in the morning should be pretty soft.

The temperature on Wednesday will be chilly with a high in the teens, though any breaks of sunshine could quickly turn the new, fluffy snow into a spring mush, especially on east and south-facing slopes.

From Wednesday midday to Wednesday night, a final round of snow showers will form and move across Colorado. This could lead to anything from a dusting of new snow to 5+ inches if a few stronger cells hit the mountain.

From Thursday, April 6 to Thursday, April 13, we will see one week of spring weather. These eight days should be dry, mostly sunny, and warm with high temperatures in the 20s on Thursday, in the 30s on Friday and Saturday, and then in the 40s and 50s from Sunday to Thursday, April 13. The warmest days will likely be Monday and Tuesday, and the cloudiest day could be Saturday, April 8.

Between Friday, April 14 to Sunday, April 16, we should see the next storm move close to or over Colorado. It is normal that snow will continue to fall through mid-April, but before this next chance for flakes, we'll enjoy a lengthy period of dry and warm spring weather.

Thanks for reading!
