Due to temperatures hovering around freezing, snow has had a tough time accumulating. Once you get away from the city, snow has had a better time sticking. Once you get away from the heat of the city, about an inch or so has accumulated around Colorado Springs. However, much of the city has not seen much snow stick today. Either way, the snow hasn't caused any problems along and east of I-25 today. Snow has been heavier in the mountains, especially the southern Sangres. As temperatures continue to drop this evening, snow will have an easier time sticking. With the roads wet right now and likely to freeze up tonight, the Monday morning commute will likely be a slow and slick one. Slow down and use caution if you have to travel. Occasional snow will continue to fall, but will likely never get that heavy for the major metro areas. Here's what we are looking at the rest of the way...

ADDITIONAL Snowfall Potential through Monday Night:

1 to 4": Colorado Springs, Falcon, Ellicott, Rush, Pueblo, Pueblo West, Canon City, Ordway, La Junta, Lamar, Monument, Black Forest, Air Force Academy. Could see isolated higher amounts, but most areas should fall in this range.

4 to 8": Woodland Park, Trinidad, Walsenburg, Rye, Beulah, Colorado City, Springfield and Walsh.

8 to 14": All of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains

Snow continues to wind down this evening, with a little more accumulation. Areas between Fountain and Pueblo will likely have the best shot at an inch or two. Otherwise, minimal accumulation with cold temperatures and slick secondary roads. Thanks for reading our blog...

While I'm sick of the storms producing 1 to 3 inches every time, I'm also growing quite sick of reading how upset everyone else is with the lack of snow. It's mother nature people - nobody knows what she's going to do. Yes, there are numerous records being broken in regards to snow all over the country. But whose to say we won't break recorde here next year? Truth is, nobody knows. Computer models can predict this and that, but they're not that accurate either. I'd love to take my two girls sledding more, we've only been able to go once or twice this winter, but it is what it is and there isn't anything we can do about it! Complaining isn't going to make it snow more. Suck it up and enjoy life - snow or not.

another as usual dink snow 2.5 inch is all as of 9 am Mon.. seems that the track of this one in the past would have indeed dumped some 6 - 8 inch here, but it looks like ( on the weather channel they said this ) that this system is being drawn into a stronger system over the mid part of the country, & is indicated yep again ol D C, philly, Balt.. ect will get another 1 - 2 ft all time record for them.. Ann, in Widefield, may be short on snow in Mts this yr. garden, depends what you plan for a garden, i say any sort of Xeric garden is good idea, in fact check out the symposium that will be held at the Double Tree Inn ' Peak to Plains on Fri & Sat Feb 26 & 27 you can get more info on ppls@csu.org check it out.. i been there 3 yrs in row, it is worth it, a 2 day or you can attend one or the other day.. but all about landscape/ gardening for this region... jon

Believe me Julio, people are always relieved when they don't get the snow. It's when they wake up to 6 or 7 inches when you had a dusting in the forecast, that really angers people. Those surprises are not welcome...

Maybe you should just call for a trace to an inch every time....seems to have been the story every time so far. At least then, when you're wrong it would be a good thing instead of the constant disappointment....
