Opening Day is still TBD but not before November 30th.

Monday brought partly cloudy skies and dry weather.

Monday night is when we saw moderate-to-intense snowfall as a strong yet fast-moving storm pushed across Colorado. The mid-mountain snow stake showed 6 inches of accumulation as of Monday at 600am, and that was on the high side of my 3-6 inch forecast for Monday night.

Now on Tuesday morning, additional snow showers will fall through midday thanks to northwest flow and I am hoping we can grab at least a few additional inches of accumulation.

Wednesday will be dry, then a weak storm should bring snow during the day on Thursday and we could see anything from a few flakes to a couple of inches.

Friday through the weekend should be dry.

I am (still) watching December 1-2 and December 6-8 for our next chance of snow. Unfortunately, neither storm appears like it will bring significant snow. The forecast could change, and I hope it does, but for now, I have low expectations for snowfall through the first 10 days of December.

Longer-range models continue to hint that we’ll see a stormier pattern during the second half of December. Let’s hope this outlook comes to fruition.

Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
