Kayla Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Been a chilly start to December here. Bozeman Airport is running -7.2F and MSU -6.9F through yesterday. Another chilly below freezing here today but beautiful sunshine throughout. Through today I'm running a 17.7F average temp so definitely a chilly month thus far. No big storms in the near term but I am expecting 1-3" of snowfall tomorrow night and maybe a bit more on Wednesday. Still have about 5" of snow on the ground but running well below last year which is not surprising. Will be nice to at least get a bit of a refresh tomorrow!

Kayla Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Ended up with 3" of snow last night. About 8" of base now. Winds are forecasted to really pick up tonight with 50+ mph gusts so definitely going to be quite a bit of blowing/drifting snow tonight/tomorrow with the fresh snow. Should also see a few snow showers but accumulations should stay under an inch.

In general, the closer you are to the mountains, the more snow you'll average. You'll also see more frequent summer t-storms close to the foothills, but you'll see stronger spring/summer storms more often further east. You'll also see stronger Chinook winds closer to the mountains, and stronger winter storm winds (usually) further east. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

I won't go more than 30 minutes. From when I've visited the 36 coming from Superior is usually pretty busy but not completely awful. Not sure about the other main routes. Anyway, what you said makes sense. Probably should try and get close to the mountains for the snow/wind. I can always travel an hour east or so for the good storms when they come. Any impression on whether the foothills north, in, or south of Boulder are better? As an example, here in SLC the east foothills are the snowiest/wettest areas in general, but the snowiest parts of these foothills are either NE or SE of the city. The SE foothills end up with more thunderstorms than the east or NE foothills do. The highest number of thunderstorms overall are on the foothills in the SW part of the city.

Kayla Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Been a really warm stretch here with tons of Chinook winds but that is finally about to change. Only about 4" of snow out there with lots of bare areas on south facing hills. Thankfully, the switch to colder/snowier weather will begin on Friday morning with a cold front and 1-3" of snow. Looks like we stay below freezing through the weekend with steady snowfall returning Christmas Eve through at least mid week with cold temps.

South Boulder is generally snowier than north Boulder, but once you get into the actual foothills I don't think it matters much either way. Boulder, of course, is a much smaller area geographically than SLC. I actually like the weather in the area I live in a little more since snow tends to last here longer because we don't get the Chinooks quite as bad, but I'm still high enough and close enough to the hills that I get more snow than areas further north and east. And I'm also right on the edge of the area that tends to get better t-storms in the spring/summer. But this area also seems to avoid damaging hail more than areas to the south and east. To make it easy, and since Boulder is so darn expensive to live right in, this is how I'd rank the cities within 30 min of Boulder (for purely weather): 1. North Arvada2. Broomfield3. Louisville4. Westminster5. Superior6. Lafayette7. Longmont 1 Quote A forum for the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as run of the mills afternoon t-storms in the summer, anywhere from probably Louisville west does best. With strong storms, damaging hail seems to occur further south (Arvada/Lakewood area) and a bit east of me (Thornton/Commerce City). 1 Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Maybe an inch when all was said and done. This next week looks to get pretty chilly if the forecast holds.
