Monday Recap

Monday was dry, then the storm arrived during the afternoon and dropped a quick 3 inches across the mountain. It was a lovely refresh!

On Monday night, another inch accumulated, and then the storm moved away after midnight.

Tuesday

Dress warmly as temperatures will be in the single digits all day. Thankfully, skies will be mostly sunny and the wind will be light. Enjoy the refresh and softer snow.

Wednesday & Thursday

Wednesday and Thursday will be partly cloudy with times of clouds filtering/blocking the sunshine, and temperatures will be warmer with daytime highs in the 20s to low 30s.

Next Storms

• Thursday night into Friday: My early snow total estimate is in the 1-2 inch range. So, not a big storm, but maybe a small refresh on Friday.
  
  
• Sunday night into Monday: Again, maybe a few inches of accumulation, with a refresh on Monday. However, this storm may miss Telluride and track farther to the north.
  
  
• Wednesday (Dec 18): Another refresh is possible for Wednesday.
  

Longer Range

There will be another chance for snow around December 22-25. That's a long way away, so my confidence is low, but maybe it'll be a Christmas / Chunukkah miracle.

We have a solid base and the low sun angle of December will continue to preserve our snowpack, so we're in an okay spot for December even if we do not see significant storms for the next 1-2 weeks.

My next update will be on Wednesday morning.
