On Wednesday night into Thursday morning, a storm far to the south of Colorado pushed clouds and a few snow showers over the mountain, and we eked out a coating to one inch of accumulation.

Thursday will bring additional snow showers with maybe 1-4 inches of accumulation and temperatures will be in the teens to low 20s. 

Thursday night to Saturday will then deliver multiple rounds of light snowfall. Accumulations are likely to be 1-3 inches and this could soften conditions. Also, with a decent amount of moisture in the air, accumulations could be a little higher than expected. High temperatures on Friday and Saturday will be in the teens.

From Saturday night to Monday a storm will again track to the south of Colorado, and while this is not ideal for us, we should still be able to grab 2-6+ inches with soft/powder conditions on Sunday and perhaps into Monday morning as well. Temperatures on Sunday and Monday will be chilly with highs in the upper single digits to low teens.

Tuesday (January 9) will likely be a drier day as we'll be between storms. Temperatures will still be in the teens.

Tuesday night to Thursday (January 9-11) will be the timing of our next storm, and we might see significant snowfall with powder possible on Wednesday and/or Thursday. Temperatures will be in the single digits.

In the longer range, we may see another storm sometime between Friday, January 12, and Sunday, January 14, and temperatures could stay cold during this time.

Regardless of exactly how each storm plays out, multiple storms in one week should flip conditions from firm to soft and create multiple opportunities to ride powder. Good news!
