Colorado Snowstorm Brings Pre-Thanksgiving Snowfall

As Colorado prepares for the Thanksgiving holiday, a significant snowstorm has blanketed the state with fresh snowfall. The mountains and ski areas have reported impressive snow totals, and the Denver metro area has seen its share of winter weather. This recent storm has left many Coloradans gearing up for a snowy Thanksgiving.

Snowfall Totals Across Colorado

The latest reports from the National Weather Service (NWS) in Boulder provide a detailed look at the snowfall accumulation from the past 24 hours, with many areas receiving substantial amounts of snow. Here are some standout totals:

  • Monarch Pass: 26 inches
  • Mount Crested Butte: 26 inches
  • Gunnison: 22 inches
  • Copper Mountain: 20 inches
  • Wolf Creek Pass: 20 inches
  • Breckenridge: 18 inches
  • Eldora: 17 inches
  • Arapahoe Peak: 17 inches
  • Loveland Pass: 16 inches
  • Keystone: 15 inches
  • Vail: 14.3 inches

The snow continued to accumulate in various regions, with totals reaching 15 inches or more in several other areas including Winter Park, Steamboat Springs, and Red Mountain Pass.

Impact on Travel and Skiing

The heavy snowfall is expected to affect travel in the coming days. Road conditions may be hazardous in snowy areas, and drivers are advised to exercise caution. Mountain passes, well-known for changing conditions, may require extra attention. This accumulation of snow is also a welcome sight for ski resorts gearing up for the winter season. Many resorts in the region are positioned well for skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts looking to hit the slopes.

Denver Metro Area Experiences Snow

In addition to mountain areas, the Denver metro has experienced its fair share of snow. Reports suggest that the city received about 3 inches of snowfall. While this amount may seem small compared to the heavier totals in the mountains, it still paints a wintery picture for those in the city scrambling to prepare for the holiday.

Snowfall in Denver has disrupted some travel plans for residents as holiday travelers make their way across the state. The snow may impact airport operations, and people traveling by road will need to be cautious as the snow creates slick conditions.

Caring for Each Other This Thanksgiving

As families and friends gather for Thanksgiving, Coloradans are encouraged to check on one another, especially vulnerable neighbors and family members who may need assistance during the snowy weather. Weather conditions can sometimes affect heating and access to food. Offering help or checking in could be a simple but impactful way to show you care.

What’s Next for Colorado Weather?

With the storm winding down, it’s expected that temperatures may dip, keeping the snow on the ground. The NWS encourages residents to stay updated with weather forecasts. More snowfall could be on the horizon in the coming days as the winter season settles in.

For those looking forward to outdoor winter activities, the snowy landscapes will surely offer picture-perfect scenes and fun-filled adventures as Colorado embraces the winter wonderland.
