Need a project, perhaps with your kiddos? Here: I've received a lot of snowfall reports this week in this active weather pattern. Here's a handy guide to measuring snowfall as accurately as you can. As always, thank you for your reports and keep them coming to me.

Isn’t this amazing! Today was among the coldest ever recorded. The highest temperature was the coldest ever on this date.

Travel impact areas for early Friday morning drivers following this evening's snow. Ice will be the potential issue around the city.

How would you plan to dress if I told you we would have an 83° warm-up in one day. Well, it happened this week in Montana. That's amazing.

Very heavy snow band over Castle Rock and The Pinery. Continues, and may produce up to 3”.

[Matt Makens, Makens Weather @MattMakens]

Watch the snow coming down on the south metro areas. The snowfall is pretty, the impact on the roads won't be so pretty as it will certainly slow drivers on I-25. Snowfall totals may reach up to 2 or 3 inches in many cases for those sitting underneath this current snow-band.

Another vantage point of the snow falling on the south metro area. Roads are wet and vegetation is catching the accumulation.

The chance of accumulating snowfall Thursday night and Friday morning remains low for #Denver:

1'' 23.1% chance of occuring
2'' 15.4%
4'' 0.01%

Now hear this. Now hear this. Mother Nature serving cotton candy as today's #sunset.

Silly me not checking auto suggestions...*Freezing rain https://t.co/AKZbq7Cj9l

Least snowy season on record now.

Stapleton was Denver's official snowfall site from 1950 to 2007. The snowfall data continues, however the official site moved to DIA. Since DIA's snowfall data is only 10 years old, it fails to offer much context historically.

[Matt Makens, Makens Weather @MattMakens]

Our next system will move in later this week. For Denver, expect warming temperatures through Thursday. For the state, isolated snow in the central and northern mountains until this next system brings heavier snow.
