“20″ from the storm thus far! Find Wolf Creek’s snow report” – Wolf Creek today at 4:40pm
It just wont’ stop in Colorado. Loveland ski area has already gotten 8″ of new snow as of this writing and they’re forecasted to get up to 5 more inches of snow tonight.
The Loveland Pass area including Arapahoe Basin has a Hazardous Weather Outlook calling for 2-5″ of snow tonight and the Front Range has a Winter Weather Advisory calling for about the same amounts of snowfall tonight.
This really is going to give Loveland and/or Arapahoe Basin a good chance of getting open this weekend or early next week.
“Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for much of the Colorado mountains above 9000 feet through Friday. Snow accumulations of up to 8 inches are possible. The highest amounts are expected from the I-70 corridor northward. Travel over the mountain passes will be impacted by slick roads and low visibility. In addition, another round of freezing temperatures are possible over some valley locations on the West Slope early Saturday morning.” – NOAA, Denver, CO at 3:51pm today
