Colorado just got hammered. Colorado ski resorts reported up to 30″ of new snow and NOAA is reporting some locales with over 50″ of snow in 48-hours.
48 Hour Snow Totals for Colorado: Up to 29″ of New Snow
“Here is a map of total snowfall amounts provided to the National Weather Service Office in Boulder, Colorado. As of 1 PM MDT today, snow amounts ranged from 2 to 3 feet in the Front Range foothills (red shading) with locally up to 4 feet (deep red shading) on the east facing slope of the Front Range roughly above 9000 feet in elevation. Remaining mountain areas of north central Colorado, this includes portions of the high mountain valleys west of the Continental Divide, snow totals ranged from 10 to 24 inches (dark orange shading). Within the Front Range Urban Corridor amounts varied considerably from around 2 feet in the southern Denver suburbs and Palmer Divide area of Douglas County…to as little as 4 to 6 inches (dark blue shading) farther north around Longmont and Fort Collins. Eastward across the plains, amounts were less than that with 2 to 4 inches (medium blue shading) in the Greeley area….to less than an inch (light blue) across the northeast corner of the state where precipitation mainly fell as rain during the past +36 hour storm event.” – NOAA Denver, CO today
