On Wednesday and Wednesday night, chilly temperatures and snow showers continued with 2 inches of snow accumulating at mid-mountain, mostly during the day on Wednesday.

Now on Thursday morning, the snow showers are hanging around, but we should also see more sunshine, and temperatures will remain chilly with a high in the single digits.

Then between Thursday afternoon through Saturday afternoon, a storm will target the northern mountains of Colorado, with the most snow potentially falling just north of the Winter Park area. Most forecast data now shows a storm total of 2-6 inches, though there is a potential for deeper snow if the storm sags south just a bit. For timing, the softest (and maybe deeper) turns will likely be on Friday midday and afternoon, as well as Saturday morning through midday. We'll see if any of the new forecast data can help us to figure out the details of this storm, or maybe we'll just have to wait to watch the radar and live mountain cams during the storm to see what the atmosphere sends our way.

Following this storm, there could be snow showers on Sunday. Then a storm on Monday and Tuesday will likely split as it approaches Colorado, and this split storm will be tricky to forecast, and we'll need to wait at least another day or two before having more confidence about the forecast details.
