Posting Schedule

I am traveling to ski with my family through February 2. In an attempt to spend as much time with them (and get some sleep, too!), my posts will be shorter and more to the point than normal. And I will write on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule unless it makes sense to adjust this based on the timing of upcoming storms. Finally, at the bottom of each post, I will always mention when to expect the next post. Thanks for your understanding and your support!

Saturday

On Friday afternoon and Friday night, a storm brought snow to northern Colorado and tracked too far to the north for any flakes to fall around Telluride.

Saturday's weather will be dry and partly sunny, and the high temperature will be in the mid-20s.

Sunday

Sunday should be dry with partly sunny skies and a high temperature in the mid-20s.

Monday to Friday

Monday to Friday will likely be showery. A storm will track to the south of Colorado and it could push snow showers into the southern mountains around Telluride on any of the days. Accumulations will be light (or even zero), but at least there will be a chance for snowflakes each day. High temperatures throughout the week will be in the mid-20s.

Longer Range

Starting around the weekend of February 1-2, most longer-range forecast models show that a stormy weather pattern will develop over the western U.S. It is too soon to lock in any storms specifically for Colorado, but with most versions of most forecast models showing cool air and storminess around the area, it's a pretty good bet that there will be periods of snow in Colorado between about February 1-7.

• Telluride Ski Area (11,000 ft)
• Lizard Head Pass (10,300 ft)
• Dallas Divide (9,000 ft)
• Placerville (7,300 ft)

My next update will be on Monday morning.

Thanks for reading!
