Summary:<\/h3>\n

Another low-pressure system entered the state yesterday from the west, bringing widespread<\/span> precipitation for Western and Northern Colorado by the afternoon. For the high elevations, this brought a wintry mix of rain and snow; and by late evening the eastward progression brought showers to the Urban Corridor, with some lingering sprinkles well into this morning.<\/p>\n

Starting from west to east, CoCoRaHS<\/span> observers in the Grand Valley and Northwest Slope reported up to 0.82 inches of precipitation in Palisade (Mesa County) and 0.69 in Rangely (Rio Blanco County). In Grand Junction, precipitation totals range from 0.10-0.30 across town, with similar magnitude values along the I-70 corridor moving eastward. In addition to showers, much of western Colorado experienced high winds yesterday – a 65 mph non-thunderstorm gust was reported in Hotchkiss (Delta County).<\/p>\n

An estimated 8 inches of snow was reported at Never Summer SNOTEL in Gould, and 7 inches at the Willow Park SNOTEL near Cameron Pass, both in Larimer County. Across the Northern and Central mountains, SNOTEL stations picked up between 1-4 inches of snow. CDOT<\/span> has also issued a safety closure for US6 between I-70 and Loveland pass from the snow, and the Live View webcam shows snowpacked road conditions this morning.<\/p>\n

Mountain snow is no joke for this late in the season.
\nTabernsash just reported 6 inches and they should get at least another 2-4 through tonight (Winter Park is pictured).@DaveCBS4<\/a> @ChrisCBS4<\/a> @LaurenCBS4<\/a> #cowx<\/a> #4wx<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/PGp1dDhefP<\/a><\/p>\n
