More Snow Blankets Parts of Snow-Weary Colorado, Rockies

Snow once again blanketed parts of the Rockies, including Colorado, just days after Winter Storm Selene dumped more than a foot of snow and produced blizzard conditions.

Fortunately, this system was nothing like the paralyzing blizzard earlier in the week.

Instead of an intense low-pressure system pummeling the Front Range of the Rockies with a moist, cold conveyor belt, a fast-moving, jet-stream disturbance pivoted through the Rockies just as a weak cold front brought just enough cold air into the High Plains for snow.

Total snowfall between March 25-26, 2016 across the western and central United States.

Instead of the multi-foot snow totals from Selene, so far, here are some peak totals we've seen from this storm:

14 inches near Norris, South Dakota13 inches near Kebler Pass, ColoradoUp to 12 inches in the Colorado Springs metro area7 inches near Angel Fire, New Mexico6.5 inches north of Sheridan, Wyoming6.5 inches near Ridge, Montana0.6 inch at Denver Int'l Airport

Winter storm warnings were posted by the National Weather Service for a small part of southern Colorado and northeast New Mexico, but did not meet population or area criteria to become a named winter storm.
