It's pleasant in Denver, with no snow right now, but the mountains are getting, shall we say, a healthy dose. The high spots in the current storm are:
Gothic - 82"
Silverton - 68"
Crested Butte - 53"
Coal Bank Pass - 48"
Red Mtn Pass - 44.5"

DENVER - Snow won't be seen in Denver for at least one more day as the dry weather continues in the metro area, and the Colorado weather forecast shows snow is decreasing in the northern mountains, creating much better travel conditions along Interstate 70.
All WINTER STORM WARNINGS east of Vail Pass have been cancelled.
9NEWS Meteorologist Marty Coniglio says that travel conditions will be pretty good along I-70 from the Denver area to Winter Park and Summit County Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. By mid-morning Wednesday, roads should be in good shape all the way to Vail. There will be a few snow bursts along I-70 and over Berthoud Pass during the afternoon Wednesday.
The heaviest snowfall will be in the Steamboat Springs area and from Aspen to the south and west.
WINTER STORM WARNINGS continue for Vail Pass, the Grand Mesa, Elk and West Elk Mountains and San Juans through 5 p.m. Thursday. New snowfall of 1 to 3 feet is forecast for areas above 9,000 feet. Storm totals of up to 8 feet will be possible from Crested Butte to the south and west.
WINTER STORM WARNINGS continue for Steamboat Springs, Craig and surrounding areas until 9 a.m. Wednesday. Storm total snowfall of 8 to 16 inches is forecast at these lower elevation locations.
At elevations below 7,000 feet the moisture has come in the form of rain so it has been very soggy over the Western Slope.
By Tuesday evening, some of the more dramatic snow reports have come from the Elk and San Juan Mountains. Here are some of the storm totals so far:
Gothic - 82"
Silverton - 68"
Crested Butte - 53"
Coal Bank Pass - 48"
Red Mtn Pass - 44.5"
In the Denver area some rain is possible Thursday afternoon and evening. Marty says that folks living above 6,500 might see some wet snowfall. Fingers crossed....
