Well, that was fun, eh?  Well, probably not for those stuck in traffic when the snowstorm hit this morning.

The storm over-performed big time, far exceeding forecasts. Upslope flow pushed the system against the mountains and kept it in place over the Front Range.

Our east webcam captures it all in a time lapse.

Snow begins at about 3:00am and continued through much of the morning. By the end of the day though, blue skies returned and the snow was melting. We recorded 4.2 inches here but know many spots, particularly to the west, got more.
