More mountain snow, Denver remains dry

Ski resorts across Colorado's high country are basking in what is shaping up to be one of the best Novembers in recent memory. Many mountain locations picked up two feet of snow last week, and are bracing for more of the white stuff in the coming days. According to the Denver Post, some locations could pick up as much as four feet of snow this week, a scary headline for one of the busiest travel times of the year. The good news (if you want to call it that) is that the densely populated front-range will once again be spared, and travel in and out of DIA should not be interrupted. While forecasters are calling for the coldest temperatures of the season to roll into Denver on Wednesday, at this time it does not look like any snow will be accompanying it (NWS). Temps should rebound nicely going into next weekend, and the wait for Denver's first (real) snow will continue...
