On the east and northeast side 10 to 13" totals were common under the heavy band that moved through after midnight. The 9.5" in Denver is from the central city, but some parts of the city saw even more than this overnight. We'll mark this as a "bust", though our 4 - 7" and 2 - 5" split the airport, so we probably could have counted this in the W column too, and if we add to this a bit today it could be we end up decisively in range. This is because official records are kept at DIA and not in town. Officially, Denver only picked up 2.1" of snow from this event, although most of the city saw far more than this. We were a touch too high in a couple of areas, with Estes Park coming in a half inch shy of the 4 - 7" range we had forecast, and Limon just shy of the 2 - 5" forecast range. The Winter Storm Warning in place remains in effect through the remainder of the day. Some areas will add to that total today, with another 1 - 4" inches possible for some locales, but in nearly all cases this wouldn't impact our forecast outcome as the numbers would remain in range. Most of the snow totals shared below are through 7am this morning. There was a lot of anxiety from folks last night with the slow start to the snowfall across the northern urban corridor, but in the end our forecast looks like it will work out quite well – even the * boom* snowfall for portions of the east Denver metro area, the potential for which was outlined in a guest post last night.
