Colorado Winter Storm, February 21-24, 2015

[John Farley]

I have posted a report, including forecast model maps and discussion, photos, and a snowfall forecast map for this storm, which produced more than 19 inches of snow at our house in Pagosa Springs and over 40 inches at some locations in the San Juan Mountains. This was a somewhat unusual storm, as it produced very heavy accumulations both up and down the Front Range and in the southwest CO mountains, as it moved in such a way as to maximize upslope flow both from the east along the Front Range and then later from the southwest in the San Juans. The report can be seen at:
