Denver Weather: Snow Ends, Brisk Wind Stays Behind
DENVER (CBS4) - A quick moving storm brought 1 to 3 inches of snow to most areas around Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins. The official snow total for Denver was just under 1 inch.
Most of Colorado saw the last of the accumulating snow early Tuesday morning. The rest of the day will include gradually clearing skies, very chilly temperatures, and brisk northerly wind gusting as high as 35 mph.
Denver officially reported 0.8 inches of snow from Monday night and Tuesday while most areas saw more.
Generally speaking, the immediate Denver metro area saw the highest snowfall amounts.
Denver's official total for the season has now reached 15.1 inches which is just over an inch above normal through December 15th.
The mountains did better with at least 6 inches of snow at many ski areas including Aspen, Winter Park, Powderhorn, Beaver Creek, and Steamboat.
The next chance for snow in the metro area will wait until Friday. At this time it looks like only a few light snow showers with no accumulation expected at lower elevations. The mountains above 9,000 feet should get at least 2-4 inches from Thursday night through Friday.
