Storm Update

Unfortunately it looks like the low is going to track too far to the south to give us the best shot at impressive snow totals. That said, the snow, cold, and wind have settled in and will not be going anywhere in a hurry. Especially the frigid temperatures. While we will likely see light snow continue off and on into Tuesday, it is the sub-zero temperatures that we will really need to watch.
Low tonight: -5 (wind chill -20 to -30)
Tuesday Hi: 0
Tuesday Lo: -19 (wind chill -30)
Wednesday Hi: 9
Wednesday Lo: -4

These images are from the Weather Channel and the NWS respectively. The first showing the current weather with the low tracking south of Colorado, and the second showing the latest snowfall predictions for the region.

For more on the storm and record cold, please see yesterday's post. Stayed tuned for updates on the storm, and edits to the going snowfall forecast if necessary!

A sheen of freezing drizzle in the pre-dawn hours and about 1.5" of snow in Longmont so far!

(Oh, and the word verification is not showing up the first time - you have to enter it incorrectly to actually get a picture you can type from. This could be keeping comments at near zero (like the temperature!))

Saw -9F in Longmont with about 1.34" of snow. Forecast hit it on temperatures so far, but not the 3-10" that showed up from time to time from the NWS.
