Winter Park Daily Snow

Heads up, there may be fresher snow! Read the latest Winter Park Daily Snow

By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 3 years ago February 9, 2021

Snow coming to Winter Park, amounts are very uncertain

Summary

Snow is possible from Tuesday through Saturday though I have low confidence in the timing of the most intense snow and the amount of accumulation.

Short Term Forecast

Monday was partly to mostly sunny and the strong winds continued with gusts of 40+ mph at the summit.

On Tuesday into Wednesday, we were looking forward to snow, though I am now much less certain about this. As of Tuesday at sunrise, the snow has not yet begun in the area, and the latest forecast models are all over the place with snow totals ranging from almost nothing to at least a few inches. With the downward trend in the latest models, unfortunately, I would recommend keeping expectations very, very low for snow on Tuesday into Wednesday, but maybe the atmosphere will come through after all.

From Wednesday night to Saturday, another storm will bring snow to northern Colorado. Most models continue to show moderate-to-significant amounts especially on Friday and Friday night, though this is another uncertain situation like Tuesday and Wednesday’s storm, and it’s far too early to get super excited about big snow totals.

Extended Forecast

All models show the storm track moving close to or over Colorado from Sunday, February 14th to Sunday, February 21st. As a long-range forecast, all we can ask for is to be in this situation, with chances for snow continuing 1-2 weeks into the future. Let’s hope these storms deliver.

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