On Friday, it was a mostly dry day though a few snow showers dropped a dusting to an inch of new snow.

On Friday night, the next storm moved in and delivered about 6-7 inches of snow at mid-mountain. Temperatures warmed by 5-7 degrees on Friday night, so there might be denser snow on top of fluffier snow.

On Saturday, the snow will continue with another 4-8 inches of snow accumulating throughout the day. Temperatures will continue to rise so the snow quality will likely stay rather dense.

On Saturday night and Sunday, the snow should decrease or stop as the wind direction switches to blow from an unfavorable southerly direction.

Then from late Sunday night through Tuesday morning, a strong storm will move across Colorado. We should see 8-16 inches of snow during this time with powder possible on Monday (high uncertainty, maybe a better chance for powder later in the day) and powder likely for Tuesday's first chair.

After that, some snow showers may continue on Tuesday into Wednesday. Then we'll see a break in the snow on Thursday, with another storm likely delivering light to moderate snow amounts on Friday, January 6 to Saturday, January 7.
