The snow has moved out and the sun will be shining soon as residents begin digging out from a record-setting snowstorm. Here is Thornton we recorded 13.8″ of snowfall and that was actually one of the lower totals across northeastern Colorado. It was however Thornton’s biggest snowstorm since October 2009 when we recorded 14.1″ from a late month event.
Snow began falling Thursday evening and continued through the night, all through the day Friday and into Saturday morning. By this morning most of the metro area was only seeing a few flakes falling and by the end of the day the sun will return.
Below is a time lapse video from our east facing webcam. It covers from 4:00pm on Thursday, February 2 to 6:00am on Saturday, February 4 compressing that period into a little more than one minute.
