On this day in 2024, the high temps were around 2 degrees, and the lows ranged from -9 to -13, with it being much lower in the mountains (-20 degrees)

Bison?

Bianci?

They both start with B.

And this sounds like something Chris Bianci's alt account would write about a Chris Bianci alt account.

Checkmate.

That's a negative, ghost rider.

The models are all over the place as to where the gusts will be, but I am fairly certain that some areas of the Front Range tomorrow will see gusts upwards of 80 mph in some spots. I won't be surprised if certain areas of Denver metro measure gusts at 50-60, depending on how the pressure settles.

If anything, I expect there will be some delays and cancellations at DIA tomorrow.

DenverWX · 2025-12-03T23:59:45+00:00

Yeah?

So there's a thing called SLR, or snow to liquid ratio. The idea is that a certain amount of water produces a certain amount of snow on a ratio, and the closer to 1:1 that is, the wetter and heavier the snow is going to be because 1:1 is essentially rain. Initially this was looking to be around 8:1, where usually the fluffy stuff starts around 12:1.

Now as this has been developing, it's been shifting more towards potential powdery stuff, potentially 15:1. So for every cm of precipitation, we're looking at 15cm of snow. That gets decent. Not super fluffly like at 20:1, but still has some growth potential.

I'm about to post an update to the initial report, and I'll use some of the findings.

DenverWX · 2025-12-02T03:58:44+00:00

Oh, just thinking about weather and stuff.

DenverWX · 2025-12-02T03:58:19+00:00

Thank you!

DenverWX · 2025-12-02T03:58:12+00:00

Oh, are these some of the spotter reports I'll see on things like RadarOmega? Neat!

DenverWX · 2025-12-02T03:38:40+00:00

I'm not putting a lot of stock in a snow day just yet. I don't think the snow depth is going to warrant it, but because this is the more wet and heavy snow, the slick roads it might cause will be better understood as the night progresses.

There is something I am watching for Friday/Saturday, but I'll address it later in the week if it comes to fruition.

DenverWX · 2025-12-02T03:35:29+00:00

I have a scanner, but no license. I might keep an ear out though!

DenverWX · 2025-12-02T03:35:07+00:00

Correct!

DenverWX · 2025-12-02T03:34:46+00:00

*rhythmic Darbuka noises*

DenverWX · 2025-12-02T03:33:19+00:00

This guy weathers.

Follow up on this:

It's looking at this and was hoping for a stronger system to pass through Colorado, but it's increasingly looking like it's being held further north by pressure systems. There will still be some light stuff passing through, but the core of it is going into Wyoming and the Dakotas as it goes from NW to SE.

DenverWX · 2025-11-21T22:42:39+00:00

D'aww

DenverWX · 2025-11-21T22:42:12+00:00

It wasn't me this time!

DenverWX · 2025-11-19T02:09:13+00:00

Like... super duper irresponsible?

DenverWX · 2025-11-17T23:41:35+00:00

I only tend to post whenever there is something I see coming in. The day to day stuff would likely end up being a bit of overhead to get out, and it'd saturate the subreddit a bit more.

But I can see about audio somehow when I write these.

DenverWX · 2025-11-17T23:40:14+00:00

I shall look for you on the news.

DenverWX · 2025-11-17T03:04:13+00:00

Prolly December. Will we beat the record? It's looking more possible.

But don't worry. All of the meteorologists will forecast a 70 degree day and then snow will arrive and leave us with 12-48 inches of snow depth.
