Snow moves on, cold persists

For those of you who follow my blog through the winter months, you know all to well about the dreaded dry slot. Last night, after a brief period of moderate snow, a dry slot pushed in all but shutting off the snow for Denver completely. While snow finally did redevelop early this morning, it was very light, and we were likely robbed 2-3 inches of accumulation. That said, it was nice to finally get a "real" snow, and almost everywhere in northeastern Colorado picked up some much needed moisture. Here are some snow totals as of this morning (inches):
Golden: 8.6
Greely: 6.0
Highlands Ranch: 5.0
Northglenn: 4.5
Central Denver: 4.0

While snow will continue for some in far eastern Colorado this morning, the rest of us will just be dealing with the bitter cold. Current temperature: 5 degrees F. Tonight's low: -8 degrees F. Bundle up!
