Reporting from elevation 6,924’ outside Larkspur. Misty rain early turned to snow at 10:45. Now snowing heavily about 2” so far and just starting to stick to the roads.

It's one of many treasures Petty left us. Sums up the week pretty good too! My neighbors are telling me not to play it anymore

Re: Snowpocolypse 2021
I love that. Have that dvd which is DAMN good. I could just kick his ass for leaving us too soon. I’ll see if I can find a song video of another band I love and will put it in the 5 favorite band... thread for you later. Thanks for posting this one!CaptainSuburbia wrote: ↑Sat Mar 13, 2021 12:51 pmIt's one of many treasures Petty left us. Sums up the week pretty good too!

Fort Collins has snow sticking to the grass starting less than an hour ago, roads are still just wet. Snowstorm of the century, indeed.

Re: Snowpocolypse 2021
Now that the initial band of snow has come through, radar shows a large lull in precipitation moving into Ft. Collins/Boulder/Denver and the Plains. Most of the computer model forecasts showed this lull, but it looks more extensive in reality than what the models showed. Even so, the heaviest snow rates and most consistent snow have yet to arrive, and will probably set in around midnight. Until then, the snow will probably be lighter/showery. We will have to do very well during the second half of tonight and into tomorrow to meet the advertised storm-total snowfall, but the storm isn't a bust yet.

Re: Snowpocolypse 2021
lots of snow fall. just too warm to build up.
what i’m seeing would be crazy deep if it were 36f after three weeks of hot dry days.

Re: Snowpocolypse 2021
Just got off South Boulder Peak and Bear Peak in B-Town and the snow above ~6,500 feet was ankle to knee deep and powdery. I was basically swimming in slush below that, and as I left it started to snow really hard. A small amount of accumulation and no current falling snow here in Louisville. Stay patient friends, we may get some yet!
Re: Snowpocolypse 2021
yeah the lack of snow finally got to me and I got a quick 5 mile hike in today. The ground was so damned warm it was just muddy.
Only an inch or two is sticking so far.
