As only CBS4 told you last night, Denver would see a beautiful start to Friday – and we were greeted to a cloudless blue sky as temperatures warmed to a high of 54 degrees. Then the weather began to change as a storm system tracking across the Four Corners region and then over New Mexico began producing a strong upslope flow along the Front Range changing rain over to snow. As a result, the Denver and Boulder areas are under a Winter Storm Warning from 6 p.m. Friday until 6 p.m. Saturday for 4-12 inches of slushy snow. The higher amounts will be over the southern suburbs in Arapahoe County and northern Douglas County.

Just checked in on Santa Fe NM. Winter storm warning with current heavy snow and freezing fog. Expecting 7 inches of snow. Stupid glow bull warming. ;-)
They should come to Southern Illinois. Then they’d be underwater :)
I guess that means the ski slopes are still operating.
The snow is coming down here at 8,500 ft elevation in the Rockies west of Denver. Looks to be about 8 inches so far.
Prediction: A-Basin will stay open even longer this year.
Woo Hoo! I’m a damn climate change forecaster!!
Oh what utter stupidity. It snows in Denver rather routinely as late as March
The city wide track meet ( used to be called Colir Day) was always held late in May. Never failed to snow then.
Doobie, Doobie, Doobie, Doo.............
Live Arapaho. Great place to ski
We’ve had at least 15 inches here in the foothills west of Denver.
Gorgeous and much-needed.
Well, Mount Rose just south of Reno is open until Memorial day and I think Squaw Valley has something planned for the 4th of July. Yeah, we finally got some precip this winter. The YUGE drought is over. Well until the next one that is.
I am not too far from A-Basin. Right now the thermometer is at 24F and snowing at a moderate rate. Very fine snow.
8+ inches and still falling in Tijeras, just a bit east of Albuquerque at 7300’.
I remember we had 13" of snow and a blizzard on Mother's Day in the middle of May the year we lived there.
Maybe that's why we only lived there a year. We moved back to Arizona. :-)
Here on the western slope we are only about 35 miles from Boulder as the crow flies. We have an inch on the ground. I was in Denver last weekend and will be again next weekend.
Perfect timing, yay me.
A-Basin is usually the last one to close.
Just checked their site.
They got 4" in the last 24
and 13" in the last 3 days
I'm in Will County and watching that storm to see if it comes north. Y'all are getting hammered in Southern IL right now. We have strong winds from the North by me that appear to be keeping that storm well to the south of us, at least for now. Supposed to get up this way this afternoon/evening. We've been warned we can get 4+ inches of rain in a hurry.
The temp outside is like 54 right now but the northern winds make it feel pretty raw right now. I'm on a hill and my weather station is clocking wind gusts well over 30mph right now.
