A two-part storm stretching from Friday night into Monday afternoon could create snowy conditions for Thanksgiving weekend skiers and travelers, but it won’t do much for Colorado’s record-low snowpack
It’s been a lackluster start to the winter season as Colorado’s snowpack hit its lowest level in three decades, but a warmer-than-usual Thanksgiving and subsequent weekend storm could bring some much-awaited snow to Colorado’s northern and central mountains. Colorado’s snowpack is currently at the 0th percentile, meaning the snow water equivalent is the lowest on record for Nov. 26 since 1987. Several basins in Northwest Colorado are at 23% of normal, while snowpack levels along the I-70 corridor are closer to 24% of normal, according to National Weather Service Forecaster David Byers. The state’s end-of-month forecast doesn’t promise much in terms of notable changes to the snowpack…next is a two-part weekend storm expected to bring up to 8 inches of snow to Colorado’s northern and central mountains, according to a Wednesday report by OpenSnow. The first part is set to begin Friday night with 3-6 inches of snow to the northern mountains and 0-4 inches in the central mountains.
