Some Snow Pix 7
The first three were taken about 8 a. m. while the snow was still falling.
The next two were taken just as it stopped and the sun came out around lunch time:
The sun has since gone back in.
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

6″ isn’t bad at all. Not the way they were talking about the storm on the news.

Everything closed down, but that was to give them time to clear the roads. I suspect things will be back to normal tomorrow.
School buses, suburban developments, and snow don’t mix well.
And this area doesn’t have the snow clearing capabilities of your neck of the woods. It wouldn’t be worth it to buy all that extra equipment and use it once or twice a year.

Several school systems have already announced closings for Tuesday.

On the map it appears you guys are at the same North-South level we are. (Latitude or longitude, whichever.)
Why no snow?

We had a nor’easter (search on the Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962). It’s basically a nontropical cyclone or an out of season tropical storm. Tons of moisture drawn from the Atlantic. This one had cold enough temperatures to dump ample amounts of snow on the coastal and near coastal regions. The tracking of these storms this time of year is extremely important. Usually, a difference of less than 100 miles east or west can make the difference between lots of rain and beach erosion or lots of snow and beach erosion or just beach erosion.

What Bill said. The key ingredient is all the moisture from the seas. You don’t have seas in Colorado. California stole them all.

The falling barometer has muddled my thinking processes, so please bear with with.
You get no snow because of the moisture from the ocean? Or is it just not cold enough to turn rain into snow?
We don’t even have good LAKES in Colorado. We’ve got great mountains though.
