Snow diminishes, cold lingers

The latest arctic cold front to effect the region came in with a fury last night. The heavy snow band some expected to stall over Denver ended up drifting south and east late last night, cutting off accumulating snowfall in the Denver area. Still, an impressive storm if only for a few hours. Incredible winds, heavy snow, and bitter cold. Here is a video from the patio of Lost Lake last night, showing horizontal snow and whiteout conditions.

Though light snow is possible through the remainder of the day, our main focus will turn toward the frigid temperatures that are now in place. Currently it is 3 degrees in Denver, and it is likely we won't climb much higher than that before dropping well below zero tonight. Wednesday will remain cool with highs in the 20s, before a real warm-up starts to end the week. By Saturday highs could be in the mid 50s!
