No additional snow accumulation today, but photos possible tomorrow.

With the surface temperature stuck at 35 degrees and only light wet snow falling, there will be no additional accumulation of snow in the Boulder area today. This includes grassy areas, not just paved surfaces. The National Weather Service's estimation of 8-12 inches for the daytime in Boulder is much too high. Upslope, above 7000 feet, some snow will continue to accumulate. Verne Carlson is reporting fourteen inches already up in Coal Creek Canyon!

As temperatures drop slightly tonight, I expect to see significant accumulation in Boulder between the hours of 8:00pm and 6:00am. Saturday's daytime temperatures might turn out to be too high to allow for any additional accumulation after the early morning hours. As I feared, slightly higher temperatures have turned this storm into a higher elevation storm. Boulder, Denver, and most of the urban corridor are thankfully receiving much needed moisture from this event, but little snow accumulation. This was a tough storm to call and the National Weather Service did a pretty good job, other than not updating their accumulation totals when necessitated by warm surface temperatures.
