Typical Spring Storm Comes and Goes

Add a Comment

April 10, 3:57 PM

by Tony Hake, Denver Weather Examiner

Another pretty typical spring snowstorm has come and gone. In a span of a bit more than 24 hours we go from sunny, 60 degree temperatures to rain with thunderstorms to snow and near blizzard conditions. You have to love Colorado weather! Some of the area snow totals:

Denver - 2.5 inches
Fort Morgan - 2.4 inches
Greeley - 4.0 inches
Greenwood Village - 6.0 inches
Highlands Ranch - 4.0 inches
Parker - 6.7 inches
Thornton - 2.8 inches
Wheat Ridge - 1.0 inches

A chance of snow showers remains in the forecast through Friday night but the weekend is looking great with at or above normal temperatures and sunny skies.
