Precipitation totals over the seven days prior to last night's storm are shown below. This morning we are sitting nearly 50☏ warmer, with 7.1' of fresh snow, and more than an inch of precipitation reported at many stations! Spring come early much? Denver hourly temperature/dew point Dec 22 - 29, 2022

You'll recall a week ago this morning the temperature bottomed out at -20☏ with 3.9' of fresh snow and 0.1 to 0.3' of precipitation across the metro area. It's made even more remarkable considering the record COLD and dry snow we saw just a week prior. We talked a lot about how wet last night's system was, particularly for December. This storm also pushes us just above average for the season to end December, with 23.9' recorded at DIA so far compared to the 20.6' cumulative average we see to end the month. With a storm total of 7.1' officially for Denver, the month-to-date snowfall total for Denver has hit an even 13' this December, far exceeding the 8.0' longterm average for the city. #cowx /mX4h2wWAOV- Richard Romkee December 29, 2022Ĭastle Rock this morning: /mV5YUOz5vE- Databob December 29, 2022 Multiple downed 3+ inch diameter tree branches too. ~8-9 inches on untouched parts of our parking lot, 8.5-9 inches on parked cars, 10' or so on grass.

Please leave your snow totals (and pictures too!) in the comments below as well. 'Typically' a December snow of this magnitude would not be anywhere near as wet, with high snowfall ratios driving the greatest totals, but this was not the case last night. Totals were much lighter up in Fort Collins and down in Colorado Springs proper.Įqually impressive, or perhaps more impressive, is the amount of water we picked up with this system. We also have seen some 8 to 10' totals north of Denver (Westminster area), with generally 5 - 8' across Denver. The southeast metro area did quite well as well, with quite a few reports of 8 to 12' of wet heavy snow reported there. The greatest total we've seen this morning comes from Jefferson, with a total of 16.0' of snow! The greatest totals we've seen so far this morning are out of Jefferson County, where some spots west of Denver picked up a foot or more of snow last night. The clear winner, as expected, were the foothills west/southwest of Denver. Even after a slow changeover for some Wednesday evening, much of the greater metro area managed to see the high-end (and more!) snowfall totals we discussed were possible in yesterday's update.īelow is a look at some of these totals from across the region as of 7am this morning.
