Update: Classic Colorado March Snowstorm

Tomer’s Take: Another 1-2 feet of snow accumulation in the Foothills of Colorado by early 3/15 then snow tapers off. It’s a backbreaker snow accumulation with marginal temps for many locations including Denver.

This storm system gets cut-off from the main flow 3/15-3/20 and retrogrades west into AZ/UT. The pattern dries out in the Central/Northern Intermountain West until on/after 3/21.
