Zeroing In...

Take a look at all the moisture being pulled up from the Gulf of Mexico -

The winds are spinning counter clockwise around the giant L (low pressure) located in southern Colorado... this pattern draws moisture out of the Gulf of Mexico then slams it into the front range mountains here in Colorado creating upslope. With upslope, we get snow. The low is expected to stall out in southeast corner of the state into Saturday morning which will provide us with a prolonged period of snow!

Still waiting for it to get cold enough to change over to snow... Temperature finally dropped in the last hour, a trend that is expected to continue.
Here is a rough guess... most likely an incorrect guess... at what we can expect:
Tonight: 1 - 3 inches
Tomorrow: 5 - 9 inches
Tomorrow night/Saturday: Another 5 - 7 inches if the system stalls as expected!

Else the previous blog below covers things just fine for now!
