1/1/23 Sunday 1 pm
It started snowing at my house at 11 am. The snow started off not sticking, but with the moderate snow showers the temperature has dropped a couple of degrees, from 35 to 32 and it is starting to stick. Hopefully, this will continue.
As is usually the case, I will let the chips fall where they may for the higher elevations. I am not going to change my snow forecasts.
All of my forecasts are through Tuesday morning, however, I expect light snow to fall in many areas through Wednesday. As I mentioned earlier, these setups are perfect for leftovers. We could even see some snow squalls on Monday and Tuesday.
For the mid-elevations I expect 10 to 15 inches of additional snow. I expect higher amounts of 14 to 18 inches in areas above 7,800 feet.
For the lower elevations, I feel like the temperatures will drop similarly to the way they have in the mid-elevations. I think 4 to 8 inches are possible in Durango, Mancos, and Bayfield with higher amounts possible at Deer Valley Estates. My gut feeling is these totals are probably too low, but I have to go with the data I have.
Cortez and Ignacio should see 2 to 4 inches.
