12-14 inches in the parking lot at the shop in Golden...
We got 20+ inches north of Ward last night, no snow in Palisade/Grand Junction this morning.

We got about a foot. Hard to tell since a lot of last nights melted. Power on, snowmelt in the driveway was a little overwhelmed last night, but clear this morning.
Prairie near Ellicott east of Colorado Springs. Blowing flurries. About an inch on the ground.
Half a Beagle near Cherry Creek. Much deeper in some areas. Many broken tree branches.

I?d guess that I have less than a quarter of a beagle so far at my house. I think it?s still snowing though.
Snow, yes, but we're open for business if you want to come and shoot some rounds.
It is Colorado after all...
1 to 2 inches here
Really going to have to pick up here if I?m going to get anywhere close to their projected totals.

17 inches here when I last measured at 9:30AM
Currently at about a quarter of a Mini Aussie here in Pueblo.Quote:

18 inches in NW Colo. Springs. Add another 15 inches Friday morning, total 33 inches. I'll take all the moisture we get happily.
Basically a dud here in Adams County just east of I-76 and about 6 miles north of DIA. Snow, but nothing is sticking.
Was dry out here on the prairie(got quarter inch of rain Wed evening) til about an hour ago. Half inch so far.
If you're unarmed, you are a victim.
It's up to ~38" now in Peaceful Valley. The state highway remains unplowed.
Any of you east of Pueblo towards Canon City? Was planning a trip to see Colorado with the kid on spring break. But now not sure those roads are passable to Salina and BV.
I drove from Montrose to Springs today, it was amazing how many vehicles didn't have their headlights on when visibility was marginal.
Took 114 down to Saguache and then back up 285 to avoid Monarch - figured M had more risk of delay/closure due to asshats. It is a few more miles but the pass is lower, with typically no trucks and less traffic overall. That proved correct, but not plowed for quite a while which didn't matter to me at all.
Saw some real shitboxes headed the other way up the pass, not sure what they were thinking. I did wave enthusiastically to the one oncoming plow driver, those guys have do deal with so many idiots.
Check the CDOT cameras on COTRIP.ORGQuote:

Here is Highway 50 between Pueblo West and Penrose just a few minutes ago (4:30 PM local time):

That must have had some exciting moments.Quote:

At 0745 just rain, snow started about an hour later. Mostly slush and mud out here by the rez.
Nothing out here in Montrose! Got just a little rain/snow mix early morning and all dry and sunny now.
That 114 route is a pretty drive and a great alternative to Monarch mountain. We usually see lots of wildlife on that road.

Thanks gents. Forgot about CDOT cameras. Taking the suburban with Duratracs and a set of chains. Plus warm stuff for just in case.
14” in my yard in Centennial, 3 big branches broken off the one big tree in the backyard plus 2 really big ones from my neighbor that just missed my porch roof. He’ll clean them up Saturday.
My wife says the snowflakes coming down in Thornton right now are huge.
We ended up with 40". Eldora got 49" but a 6WD grader went off the road so they can't open until tomorrow.

Also for Erni, CC area to Salida was wet and not snow-packed yesterday afternoon. 285 gets a lot of attention from plows, and the next few days will all be above freezing. I think good common sense and AWD/4WD will get you anywhere on a US or state highway.
A view at the front entry, and a measure next to the shovel.

This storm is difficult to judge since the snow starts auto-compacting immediately after falling. Folks probably received significantly more than what is shown being measured.
Agree with 445. It looked like 3-4? on my driveway but was solid wet mush. I ran the snow thrower even though it would plug frequently.

Recently, they have revised snow collection methods to shorten the time between clearing the snow level in collection devices. This is to take additional snow level measures in order to better reflect actual snowfall amounts, separate from water precipitation levels.
We got another 8 inches or so at the shop in Golden between 1430 yesterday and this morning. Between melting and compaction, I'd guess somewhere between 22 and 24 inches of actual snow. It was over the top of the opening on the big snowblower @ 17+ inches.

Got about 4 feet of global warming here
Actually, you guys are full of it! Nice stock pictures taken from the internet. Climate change experts told me that such storms will never happen in Colorado ever again! Fake news! Fake news!
I did cleaned up the drive way today - mostly - I figure at least 12 - 16" of snow - and before that about 1/2" of rain.
I move the truck to full sun so the bed which is full of snow can melt a bit.
I had a package leave last night from Henderson Co that never arrived / unpacked in the Springs....
I guess that solid liquid sunshine got in its way....
I may be off a little, but as this is mid-March, I reckon this will be news again in 4-6 weeks and 4000 feet lower in elevation.
Maybe 14-16", heavy stuff. Take it easy out there! As usual, nice weather the day after tree breaking March weather in Colorado.
Snow, what snow? It was all gone and sidewalk dry when I got home from work.

Man I miss living up there.Quote:
