“You’re hot then you’re cold, you’re yes then you’re no.” – Katy Perry. 

Denver started the workweek with high, spring-like temperatures soaring into the 80s while other parts of the state were still experiencing winter-like conditions. KDVR-TV Denver reports that areas like Cameron Pass in Larimer County found themselves blanketed with nearly three feet of snow from Monday into Tuesday, and according to the National Weather Service, the appropriately named Never Summer mountain range and the Medicine Bow mountains witnessed some of the most intense snowfall.

Here’s a rundown of the regions that received over a foot of snow between Monday and Tuesday:

• Copper Mountain reported 18 inches of new snow within 24 hours.
• Loveland Ski Area reported 15 inches of fresh powder.
• Vail Ski Resort recorded 12 inches of snow over the same period.

Winter weather advisories remained in effect for many parts of Colorado’s high country until 3 p.m. on Tuesday. But meanwhile, in Denver, you could hardly tell, with residents embracing the springlike conditions.
