Powerful Spring Storm Winds Down

Well, let the melt begin! And it will in a big way tomorrow. After several days of snow and rain the storm is showing signs of letting up. Rain and snow showers will likely continue through the afternoon and into the evening, but they will more isolated in nature. By tomorrow we should be pushing 50 degrees again... and into the 70s next week! (click to enlarge photos).

*Storm Totals*
This was an impressive storm both in terms of precipitation totals and snowfall totals. As far as precip is concerned, here in Denver we picked up anywhere between 2.1 and 3 inches of water. Some foothill locations were well over 4 inches. In one storm many of us logged more precip than we have all year.
Now for some of the snow totals (inches):
Pinecliffe (west of Boulder): 51
Black Hawk: 36
Eldorado Springs: 34
Evergreen: 29.6 (23 of these inches fell within 24 hours)
Castle Rock: 20
Parker: 16.3
Greenwood Village: 14
NW Denver: 10.5
Central Denver: 5.5

These totals are likely to change as updates come in throughout the day.
