Ha!! I don't know what the heck I'm doing with this forecasting stuff, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn last night.
12z NAM pretty much dumps all the precip north of Colorado Springs; GFS does as well but gives a little window of good precip in the "corner" if you will where the Palmer Divide butts up against the front range, over the Monument area. Surface winds now really never end up southeasterly in southern Colorado; instead they are more northeasterly again, which makes it more of a Denver/northeast plains monster. Seems to also favor orographicly induced snow along the northern Palmer divide and northern El Paso county. I dunno, I guess the surface lows in New Mexico are too far north or too far south or something for the Springs to take most of the hit.
If I didn't have to work today and tomorrow Stan, I'd see if you wanted to meet up for some good times 4 wheeling through the snow on Rampart Range road.........but I have to work![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
