The current storm, which includes a weak low pressure system, will finish by Thursday afternoon. So far, there has been no snow accumulation. Here are the model forecasts:
3” – Canadian Model
2” – European Model
1” – American and WRF Models
After a brief break, a stronger system will pass to our north on Friday into Saturday morning, which hopefully will result in some snow here. Here are the model forecasts:
4” – WRF Model
1” – Canadian, American, and European Models
Saturday will be decreasing snow and clouds, and sunny by afternoon with highs around 40. Sunday is sunny and again way too warm with highs in the upper 40s.
The next snowstorm looks to come from the north northwest and pass through our patrol zone between next Wednesday and Friday. Here are the model forecasts for that system:
5” – American Model
3” – Canadian Model
2” – European Model
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 European Model are the European (ECMWF IFS) Model grid including Brainerd Lake. 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 Icon and UKMet Models are to the 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.
