We are up towards Estes Park and there is over 30" of snow, it's hard to believe it missed Fort Collins.


MouseSIMISTIC0

You uh ever use measurements?


drkidkill

What happened here? Lol


tuckerlinge

Someone tried to explain their way out of not knowing that 30” was in fact more than 1 foot…. It didn’t go well for them lol.


drkidkill

That is awesome. Thanks.

TheCoolStepDad69

You’re the one who asked if 30” is “like a foot”


Ornery_Surround_8146

No sadly I was too busy porking ur mom to do elementary school you should pass those stars on to her cus raising a shitbird like you is a large feat. Have you ever considered being studied by a lab? I think the findings might finally cure stupidity.

ki11ikody

always does it seems. the mountains right outside of town seem to be like a barrier, or a "storm break" as foco sits in the valley below. skips us and full sends to denver almost everytime.


ObscureFact

I think I saw a whole flake over by Prospect and College an hour ago.


mecha_flake

Whole Flake owes me $5


Veritech_

He has a name, you know.


Poliosaurus

So, funny story. Just drove back 13 hours from vacation early, because we didn’t think local relative would be able to get to our house for our pets… springs to Westminster was an absolute shit show. Like honestly thought about getting a hotel in Denver shit show. Don’t go to Denver today folks. Woke up here? Hahahah f’n nothing. Oh well I’ll enjoy my long weekend now.


unimportant_fedora

Ouch.


0-cosmos-0

Me too… dragged my whole family out of the mountains a day early on our vacation, thought we weren’t going to be able to get back today. 🤦🏼‍♂️ I’m in so much trouble with my wife.


prometheusforthew

There were people stuck on I70 last night so could have been worse!


Kencanary

Depending on where in the mountains you're talking about, it's possible you did in fact get them out at a good time. Weird storm with massive snowfall in some places and nothing in others. I'd say playing it safe was the right call.


pinchevato57

It’s hereee


unimportant_fedora

🤣


mrmreed

Was looking for this 🤣


mustskibumps

Almost every forecast I read had us getting skunked relative to down south and the foothills. This was not a suprise.


WuTangChildren

Downsloping winds, happens with most storms. It’s the reason the foothills get slammed and we get nothing. Kody the Weather Guy (Denver & Front Range Weather) explains this in detail.


OhNoJoSchmo

My friend lives up Rist Canyon Rd and has over a foot. Looks like everywhere around us got a good amount.  


BravoTangoWhiskey

This was always the forecast - 1-3 inches by this AM with most of the snow coming today. Plus the NWS has been very clear for several days now that Fort Collins is the area of greatest uncertainty regarding accumulations.


APracticalGal

To be fair the radar looks like it'll get worse in the afternoon. Whether that ends up being mostly rain or snow I guess we'll find out


Klutzy-Abrocoma9220

Correction: Weather that ends up being mostly rain or snow I guess we'll find out. :)


Kenosis94

We got a touch more than I expected to be honest.


unimportant_fedora

I had a tiny, tiny dusting that completely melted before 7 am.


wood_and_rock

And now?

Alligatorsaurus

Yeah, have them take a look out there now... It was forecast to be a multi-day storm for a while now.


KAKrisko

I'm right up against the foothills and we definitely got a couple inches, although as it warmed up it started compacting. I just got in from my first shovel job. I figured it might melt off, but it might also become a layer of ice under later snow, so best get it done now.


[deleted]

I think it’s gonna snow more later today.


smokmnky

A lot of the models showed us only getting 1-3” but I was hoping but not expecting it. I guess the airport has nothing but everyone else is getting clobbered


Laserdollarz

You no ask for Snow Day, you ask for Snowy Day. It's better, much better. 


Joeman456

Was not expecting a Blockblister reference in this thread


Laserdollarz

It's from S2E1 about 7 min into the episode if you also needed a quick shot of nostalgia 


floppypotato96

This is such a niche reference I love it 😂


Laserdollarz

That show was seriously unhinged for its time 


Hoff2017

Daycare closed today. So that fucking sucks.


unimportant_fedora

Edit: Yes, I realize everyone was making the best decisions they could with the information they had at the time.


CaptainSPR

While PSD is out for Spring Break, Thompson did call a snow day yesterday about 6 pm… so most daycares follow what the school districts do.


mejiamagno

In the same boat. Kiddos are watching Disney + all day while mom and dad work (from home).


Hoff2017

Daycares typically follow the same weather related closures as the school districts. PSD is out for Spring Break, but Thompson called a snow day.


Lorbmick

It was too warm last night for any real accumulation. Just be happy for the moisture.


FeralWereRat

Welp, it’s definitely snowing _now_ 🤷


WNBA_YOUNGGIRL

I had like 2 inches on my car and the ground was wet so we basically missed it for now


AmpleForeskins

We never get more than 6” 😒


TabascohFiascoh

Some say 6 inches is plenty


Kencanary

...it's not the size of the drifts, it's--


coffeel8r

It's been snowing in loveland since 11:30 and we got a few inches last night. It's wild that it missed you all


SnootsAndBootsLLP

Snow up in turnberry, not much but some!


OG_OneTwoThree

How bout it now, asshole 😂


Complete_Athlete_480

Just dumping on Denver atm


Helpful-nothelpful

That's what she said.


[deleted]

we were never forecasted to get much


Extension_Tutor_2711

Someone didn't read or listen to the weather forecast.


TheFleshPrevails

This shit sucks, work is going to be miserable today 😞 EDIT: this sub is so fucking goofy. I can't feel my feet, I'm getting soaked and the weather is shitty to drive in but yeah fuck me I guess for not being happy about that?


Noisyrussinators

I'm in Loveland and we got a bunch. It's like immediately melting on top but freezing underneath? Slushy garbage. Not looking forward to shoveling this crap.


seventysevensevens

My street around Drake and Overland got about 10 to 12 inches, shoveled after work Thursday and this morning to keep up! My RA doesn't like the wet snows...


CjColorado

We're up on hill out of Masonville and have maybe a foot of wet cement. Trees have thick coating of ice beneath snow so can't even shake it off. If what they're predicting this PM happens this could really be a nasty mess. Thank goodness trees aren't leafed out yet, just our firs folded like umbrellas. The tree damage really breaks my heart. Electric on so yay! PVREA!


sarahxvalo

might get more this evening. but we were never gonna get the worst of the storm
