So any word on how the ski season is expected to go this year? I know it's really early, but are there any indications that this will be a good winter? A few friends and I are trying to plan a ski trip Dec 15-20 and seems like a bit of a gamble.

yay for the first real snow...icy as heck this morning though. I know the temp drop was drastic. was still 50 at 11:00 last night, woke up and it was 19 at 3:00. that'll make for some icy roads for sure. got my storm windows in (old denver houses, gotta love it), and they were much appreciated this morning.

Skied at Copper Thanksgiving Day. Fantastic conditions, no crowds, even I-70 was a breeze.

The current NWS forecast disco is saying coldest article outbreak in last three years beginning Tuesday afternoon lasting through the weekend (at least) with several chances of light snow along the Front Range. Sounds like if we get a little snow cover, we may see below zero readings later in the week.

well, Winter seems to be arriving. was looking at SREF PLumes tonight and the mean of the models is around 8 inches for KDEN, 11 for KAPA, and 15 for broomfield. Some of the models go up toward 30 inches. Not happening obviously, but just goes to show this might not be a typical little snowless arctic frontal passage. Certianly the moisture is not impressive, but the snow ratios are obviously going to be quite high with temps in the teens, ratios on the order of 20-30:1... QPF means seem to be around .4-.6 for the event, so a foot for Denver is certainly not out of the realm of possibility. I am going to be a pessimist and say 6-8 for the city.

as far as the cold... i am not all that impressed in the actual numbers as much as the duration. even remaining in single digits from late tomorrow night into possibly saturday midday is a pretty cold 60-ish hour stretch. And it really just goes on from there as there is another front progged for next week. we may not see the freezing mark for 10 days if this pans out. Tonights discussion says 20 below is possible for Denver if we clear out thursday night...will believe it if I see it. Snow cover will be key and if we really get dumped on here in metro i could see it panning out. They also said highs might be generous thursday and friday if we do break lower into the teens below 0. Get your coats out!

Yet another non-winter in Denver. Snow totals are pathetic. Other than a blip of some cold in early December, the drought and above average temperatures continue. Bored out of my mind with the weather in Denver.

I hear you on that!

Um. Nothing. Temps in the 50's and dry for the next 2 weeks. Really pathetic Denver!
