Congratulations!

I want to begin this blog with a congratulations to the 27% of my readers who did a better job forecasting today's storm than the National Weather Service.  Yep, that's right, 27% percent of you predicted 0 - 3 inches of snow for Denver - and it looks like here in town we are going to end up with about a trace.  Great job!

So what happened?  Long story short, a large dry slot of air moved into Denver late last night, and we didn't get the winds to shift in the optimal direction because of the track of the low as it moved across the state.  The storm was not a complete bust, however, as it did drop several inches north, east, and west of Denver.  Wyoming and Nebraska are still getting slammed at this hour.  You may recall my skepticism in recent blogs of us managing to get two significant storms in one week.  

Good news (or bad news for some I suppose) is that it looks like we will remain on the storm track into next week.  A slight chance of a snow shower Sunday evening, and then another system moving through during the Wednesday/Thursday timeframe, and then again next weekend.  We will have to keep an eye on the storms for later this week...
