Sunday is starting off mostly cloudy at Steamboat. Maybe the atmosphere is also tired after the clocks were sprung ahead one hour…

These clouds are thanks to a storm that will clip the northern mountains of Colorado, and this storm should bring enough energy and moisture to produce a few snow showers which might leave a dusting to an inch of snow, especially during the morning and midday hours.

Once this storm moves away, we should see partly-to-mostly sunny skies during most of the upcoming week, with perhaps a few more clouds and a flurry on Monday and Friday. Otherwise, we’ll see spring conditions with firm snow in the morning, softening by midday and high temperatures on the hill in the 40s.

Longer-range weather models all point toward a snowy weather pattern during the final 7 days of March and continuing through at least the first week of April. So enjoy the spring skiing now as I think we’ll get back to pow-town before the month is over:-)
