DENVER (KDVR) — Snow is falling across Colorado, with Denver expected to pick up a few inches, and the mountains could see up to 8 inches — but one area in Colorado could have even more snow.
Colorado has seen unseasonably warm temperatures, with Denver seeing its second-warmest December and warmest start to the year on record, and other areas unable to hold the same annual winter activities. Ski areas have been struggling to open trails, and Colorado has seen a lack of snow.
Timing, totals, what to expect for the incoming Denver snowstorm
That is, until snow fell in the mountains on late Wednesday, and precipitation hit Denver on Thursday morning. Now, there are winter weather advisories in effect and several inches of snow expected across the state.
These areas could see the most snow
The Pinpoint Weather team expects the foothills west of Boulder to see 10 or more inches of snow. The Palmer Divide, down to Monument Hill, could also pick up more than most mountain towns, which are expected to see between 3 and 8 inches.
Snow could also be heavy around Nederland, just west of Boulder.
Mountain towns aren’t the only ones getting some much-needed snow. Denver is also expected to see around 1 to 3 inches of snow…
