61 at the Bozeman Airport and 58 in my yard today out ahead of the cold front. Pretty warm but not quite record breaking.

 

Cold front should drop 2-4" of snowfall tomorrow afternoon with quickly falling temps into the teens.

Getting absolutely slammed here right now with post frontal snow banding. Very heavy snow squall moving through with temps already dropping through the teens.

 

First time the airport has actually reported heavy snow this season if I’m not mistaken.

Ended up with a 23F/3F day here today. Forecast high was nearly 40 degrees so the models really underestimated the depth of the cold air with this little clipper. Currently 14F.

 

Looks like we warm to around average for the rest of the week with a few snow showers tomorrow night.

Picked up 2" of snowfall here last night with the front. Been a pretty boring couple of weeks up until then. Currently 28F.

 

Big pattern change coming Sunday of course. Cold is a given, snow amounts are all over the place right now so we'll see what happens there. Either way, below zero temps look to return by later next week.

Looking like a major storm for the Front Range Monday night through Tuesday. GFS is showing close to a foot here.

You guys are going to get nailed once the Tuesday low over here in OR pulls out.

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Denver CO
506 AM MST Mon Nov 25 2019

...STRONG WINTER STORM APPROACHING NORTHERN COLORADO...

.A winter storm will strengthen as it moves over the mountains
and across northeastern Colorado and neighboring states tonight
into Tuesday. A large area of heavy snow is likely from the
northern Colorado and southern Wyoming mountains eastward into
western Nebraska and northwest Kansas. The heavy snow will begin
in the northern mountains of Colorado this afternoon and spread
southeast to the Fort Collins and Denver area during the evening,
and then across the rest of northeast Colorado overnight. The snow
will end from west to east during the day Tuesday. The heaviest
snow is expected tonight in areas north and northwest of Denver,
and Tuesday morning from Denver eastward across the plains and in
the foothills west and southwest of Denver.

This storm will cause significant travel difficulties due to the
amount of snowfall. A widespread area with a foot or more of snow
is expected from the Denver metro area and highway 36 on the
plains northward into Wyoming and the Nebraska panhandle.
Conditions will deteriorate Monday evening from Denver northward
and overnight on the eastern plains. The worst conditions will be
Tuesday morning, when very heavy snow is likely around Denver and
winds will be increasing on the plains. Winds will increase on
Tuesday, with gusts to 30 mph near the mountains and 40 mph on the
plains. There will be some drifting of snow in rural areas, and
near blizzard conditions are possible east of Fort Morgan and
Deer Trail during the day Tuesday. Conditions will improve from
west to east Tuesday afternoon as the snow moves eastward and
winds decrease late in the day.

People planning travel in northeastern Colorado tonight or
Tuesday should consider traveling today or waiting until the storm
passes. Travel may become impossible across the I-25 urban
corridor and across the plains from I-70 northward by Tuesday
morning, including unplowed city streets with a foot of new snow
on them. You should have what you need for a day at home on
Tuesday.

I'm up in Canmore, AB this week but it looks like 1-2" fell overnight in Bozeman.

 

This isn't going to be a great pattern for Bozeman (too much mtn precip shadow) but the Thursday/Friday period looks to still bring 3-6", possibly more.

Looks like Boulder could crack 20".

 

Snow is winding down now, but it looks like 2-3' for the foothills west of Boulder and Fort Collins. Several stations in Boulder itself reported 20-22".

 

I'm right at a foot. Looks like 8-16" ended up being a good call for most of Denver metro.

Snow coming down in Bozeman this morning and 12 degrees. Looks like maybe 2-3" on the ground so far. Expecting another inch or two throughout the day.

 

Tomorrow's system is looking quite a bit stronger. 4-6" looks like a good forecast at this point.

After a brief lull, the snow has returned here. Very dry moderate snow is coming down with a current temp of 6 degrees. Temps will struggle to reach the double digits today with the snow / cloud cover.

 

Snow should continue throughout the day into tomorrow morning.

It's been below freezing here since late Monday afternoon. Currently 24 with low clouds and a few flurries.

 

With 15.7" in October and 13.5" in November, this is the first time in Denver Stapleton's history to have 10"+ in both October and November. Even DEN has over a foot in both months.

 

In my backyard, I've measured 37" to date, which is easily the most I've seen before Dec 1. In fact, it's the most I've seen before Dec 20.

Ended up with 7" storm total. Already down to 4F so a good chance we drop below zero tonight. Third day in a row with highs only topping out at 15 degrees as well so a decent little cold snap.

 

60.4" of snowfall has occurred in Great Falls this Meteorological Fall. Shattering the old record of 29.1" in 1985. Average snowfall during Fall is only 13.4" in Great Falls. It was a truly a remarkable Fall up and down the Rockies this year!

I still don't know if I have a home in any of the main threads at this point so I will keep posting here. November was active in Phoenix with 3.47" at my house, which was about 3x what the airport got. Most of this came on 3 days. There were a few F0-F1 tornadoes a few days ago that narrowly missed my house. I had a squall with .27" in 5 minutes and 1.02" on the day. 

A weak system approaches tomorrow night with a few more showers.

You picked an unusually active fall to arrive there.
