Fortunately we haven't gotten any rain. It's been all snow here. Another 7 inches in last 24 hours and still coming. It did warm up but not enough to transition from snow to rain.
2.69" of precipitation with approximately .77" as rain and 31.2" of snow. If the .77" of rain fell as snow likely would be approaching 50" of snow. Third or fourth storm (have lost track) is here with light snow starting and forecast is winds up to 40mph. Another storm Friday, Saturday could be a big one depending on where the closed low goes.
Tried to dig out my secondary snow board and it is encased in a ice tomb.
We are getting hammered with what I would call a "Pineapple Express." This air is very warm and laden with moisture. I suppose it is still warm enough when it reaches Colorado to keep the snow levels very high.
No kiddin' this is a disaster. Instead of building up water reserves it is washing our spring runoff away.
Bummer dude! . . . .
Fortunately we are likely close to the snow line and we are at 8,400'. Mountains snow pack is not being melted. Looks like a lot of the moisture is coming from the Baja and not more westerly?
Edouard, hang in there!
