Upcoming ‘risk of heavy snow’ in the forecast for large swath of Colorado
It’s looking like another round of heavy snow might be on tap for Colorado – but powderhounds will have to wait for a few more days. The remainder of February is currently expected to be mostly dry in the Centennial State after major mid-month snow dropped three-plus feet of fresh powder in high elevation areas. All that snow helped Colorado’s snowpack in a big way, increasing it from about 81 percent of what was typical for that point in the season pre-storm to about 95 percent of what’s typical for the date post-storm. That number has since dropped to 92 percent as of February 24 after a warm and mostly snow-free weekend.
