Winter Park Daily Snow
By Joel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist Posted 1 year ago March 1, 2023
Light snow Wednesday, drier Thursday
Summary
A storm tracking far to the south should bring light snow on Wednesday, then we'll see a brief break on Thursday before another storm arrives on Friday.
Update
On Tuesday, a storm tracking across central Colorado delivered healthy snow to us with 4 inches on Wednesday and another 1 inch on Wednesday night at mid-mountain.
Today on Wednesday, another storm will move across Colorado and this system will track far to our south. We should be able to eke out light snow (2-4 inches?) especially during the midday and afternoon as some of the storm's energy pushes to the north, and this energy should result in a few inches of accumulation on Wednesday into Wednesday night.
Then most of Thursday will be dry, and this will be followed by a fast-moving storm tracking across northern Colorado on Friday and Friday night. We could see 2-5 inches of snow from this Friday system with low-end powder possible on Friday afternoon and also on Saturday morning.
Looking ahead, Saturday, March 4 should be dry, then we should see showers and some snow accumulation between Sunday, March 5, and Wednesday, March 8 due to energy and moisture breaking off from the main area of storminess over northern California and tracking east into Colorado. After that, there could be a more significant snowfall sometime between Thursday, March 9, and Monday, March 13.
