Welcome back to the Winter Park Daily Snow for the 2021-2022 season!

Tuesday was dry, then snow fell on Tuesday night.

By Wednesday morning at 500am, the mid-mountain snow stakes both showed about 1 inch of snow. The storm was weakening a little as it moved across Colorado, so we didn't see as much snow as areas farther to the west. You have to look very closely at the snow stake to see the new snow:-)

On Wednesday before noon, we could see some periods of steady snow with light additional accumulations.

Then from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday afternoon, we should see a lull in the snow with just scattered snow showers at times.

On Thursday night, snow will ramp up as storm energy moves across northern Colorado. Another 2-6 inches could fall during this time. While the wind direction won't be perfect (I'd like to see it blow from the north-northwest and not the west-northwest), the storm energy should move directly overhead, so 6+ inches is a decent possibility by Friday mid-morning.

The upcoming weekend should be mostly dry with high temperatures in the 30s. Next Monday and Tuesday will be warmer with highs around 40. Then snow could return around Wednesday, November 17 to Thursday, November 18, maybe just in time for the scheduled opening day on the 17th.

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