Light snow today (i.e. Friday), with the WRF Model calling for 4”, the Canadian Model calling for 2”, and the American Model calling for 1”.
This weekend looks to be sunny and beautiful, with highs Saturday around freezing, and the highs Sunday above freezing. Windier on Sunday than Saturday. All-in-all, a beautiful weekend to get out and enjoy the fresh snow.
The next shot of snow is perhaps around Tuesday/Wednesday, with the Canadian Model calling for 2”, but the American Model doesn’t think we’ll get any snow then.
Late next week, the next storm might arrive, with the Canadian Model calling for 4” and the American Model calling for only 1”. We’ll see.
I’ll wait to Tuesday’s forecast to do a full retrospective discussion on this last week, as it’s still snowing lightly as I write this.
Cheers.

Geeky Notes:
References to the American Model are to the American (GFS) Model grid including Brainerd Lake with an average elevation of 9,439’. References to the Canadian Model are the Canadian (GDPS) Model grid including Brainerd Lake with an average elevation of 10,253’. References to the WRF Model are the CAIC WRF Hi-Res Model point forecast for Eldora Ski Area with an elevation of 9,189’. References to the European Model are to the European (ECMWF) Model on a point with my cursor at my best estimate of Eldora Ski Area. For big picture overviews, I tend to rely on the American Model, not because I think it is the most accurate, but because (i) it is free and (ii) I like its interface.
