A weather November to remember across southern Colorado with record shattering snow totals following nearly a week of snow.
Low pressure dove south into the Four Corners region Tuesday, cutting off and turning into a closed low in the process before pivoting slowly through New Mexico late week. Eventually the storm transitioned to an Albuquerque Low on Friday. As the cutoff low slowly crawled along, many energy impulses rode around the system producing feet of snow for much of southern Colorado.
Here are totals across the state from this week. Zoom into your city to see how much you've picked up!
In Colorado Springs, the airport has recorded 19.3" of snow since Tuesday:
SNOW TOTAL | DAY |
