The next chance of very light snow will be Friday night, as a weak (clipper-style) storm passes to our north. At the moment, I expect nothing across the lower elevations, with maybe an inch or two for Telluride and Red Mountain. If that changes, I will let everyone know.
Sunday is still to be determined. At the moment, I would say there is a 60% of light snow and a 40% chance of getting an impactful storm; the odds of a complete miss are very low. Keep in mind that if or when the GFS and/or Canadian model embrace this storm the way the European model has, those odds will immediately flip, so stay tuned, it could happen quickly.
It is usually around “T minus” 48-72 hours that we reach consensus during complex model reads. That means sometime between tomorrow morning and Friday morning, I should have a better handle on this storm’s potential. Why am I holding on to one model run over all of the others? Because the European model usually sets the trend first, and the others have to catch up.
You people are so great. To those who have offered to bring Thanksgiving Dinner over, thank you very much. Those who know me know that I love to cook, and I started preparing a few days ago. I have reduced the number of side dishes, and I am timing “Dinner” to accommodate better Susan’s condition, which means we will be eating around 11 am. Afternoons are too much of a coin flip these days. This will be a test run for Christmas and Easter.
