It has developed slowly and who knows what we'll end up with. Hardly historic yet but 7 inches here is a welcome start. More please.

The weather forecasters do a pretty good job of declaring "it will snow" or "it won't snow". However, their attempts at snow quantity estimations are awful. Asking the Magic 8 Ball would yield better results.
It stopped snowing at my house.
Who knows what will happen overnight, but so far it's more Fauxpocalypse than Snowpaocalypse here in east Aurora. Maybe 4 inches on the grass an inch or so of wet slush on the driveway. I was 16 during the 82 storm, and had to chain up my Datsun station wagon to get to my community service in Golden that following Monday.
Snowpocalypse fail.
Maybe 2" out here. Weather station wind spinny things are frozen, but have very slight wind.
Wind can determine the success or failure of a storm. Our "bomb cyclone" a few years back was a good example. 70+ mph winds, along with about 14" of snow. I left my car in a drift and walked to a friend's house about a mile out. Yard was empty of snow, except the 8ft tall drift across the driveway. 8hrs of shoveling got the 4 wheeler out. A tractor arrived and got my car out of the road.
Yeah, so who remembers Weatherman Bowman? The longtime KMGH 7/KLZ weatherman who was one of the best Denver meteorologists that got it right maybe 30 percent of the time.
Back then the best they had was a few balloons and reports from pilots. Modern weathertech forecasting is amazing.
We have 16" on the back deck right now.
We had 3” or so when we put the kids to bed last night. Woke up to a foot or so. It’s still not frozen though... just slushy wet heavy stuff that’s gonna melt fast.
