Please allow me to interject my feelings about Mother Nature

It's early, yes. And these things change all the time. But we are looking at a classic Martch cutoff low setting up over the Four Corners on Friday through Sunday that could deliver some really significant snow here in the Rockies -- like up to a foot or more in Denver, lots more west of the city. A much-needed and significant upslope storm.

 

That's what it will be. Heavy, wet, concrete-type with lots and lots of liquid.

 

Still on track for a major storm here starting Friday. At least a foot in the city. Over 2 feet in Boulder. Higher totals on the east side of the Divide.

Grocery stores were jammed up today.

We absolutely need all of the snow that's coming.

As of now -- still early; it's Colorado weather -- this looks like to be a real big boy set to barrel through.

 

Nope, it's wonderful. I never complain about rain and/or snow here (other than the 2013 floods in Boulder; that was bad). The entire state is in drought/extreme drought. We are the only state where no water flows into it, all of ours flows out.

This is shaping up like the drought buster in March 2003 when we got 32 inches in the city, 87 inches 40 miles to the northwest.

I will take a massive snow event (or 10) over the wildfires we had last year.

And it's not like the East Coast or Midwest. This will be rain falling as snow. Heavy, wet concrete-like snow that is easy to drive through/plow once we get it plowed (and unlike Texas and elsewhere, we have thousands of plows).
