My Pagosa Weather yardstick and 4-foot measuring stick combo that I attached to the cattle fence behind our home are still registering 25 inches of snowpack as of this post despite the warm afternoons!
2-11-22. 2:30pm update…
The low this morning at Stevens Field was 14 and the high so far today has been 47. We could see some temps in our area exceed 50 degrees this afternoon! There was no precipitation recorded in our area.
A cold front and trough are giving the front range some snow today and tomorrow. For us, only a tiny chance for some light snow in the mountains tonight and slightly cooler temps on Saturday. By this weekend a trough digs into the Pacific NW, potentially setting us up for a chance for snow next week. The hope is for an upper-level low to form in a position that will switch our mid-level winds into a SW flow. If this all comes together, look for snow to fall from Wednesday-Thursday of next week. As of this post, 1-2 inches for the valley and 3-6 inches of snow for the mountains seems reasonable.
