Got our first *5 foot* snow report (61.5″) from the March 2024 snowstorm in Colorado.
Now three different 50″+ reports. Solidifies this as the biggest foothills storm since 2003.
The recent Colorado snowstorm delivered extraordinary snowfall totals, with some areas exceeding four feet of accumulation. As skies clear and temperatures rise, the National Weather Service (NWS) continues to update its snow totals map. Currently, Aspen Springs holds the top spot with a remarkable 61.5 inches. While these figures are significant, they likely won’t surpass Colorado’s historical snowfall records. A period of warmer, drier weather is expected, though a weak system may bring light snow to the mountains by Tuesday.
