Update on storm...!

The National Weather Service has upgraded the winter storm watch to a *winter storm warning*. Snow totals are expected to range from 1 - 2 feet in the mountains, 10 - 18 inches in the foothills, and 8 - 14 inches in Denver. Depending on timing, how much initial melting takes place because of the warm ground, and how long into Thursday the snow lingers - these amounts could vary widely. Some forecasts are predicting as much as 18 inches here in town! While others are leaning more towards six... I would say that the NWS's 8 -14 inches is a good compromise.

Snow should begin to develop tonight after midnight. Heaviest snow during the afternoon Wednesday through Thursday. The warning expires at 6pm Thursday.
