Snow began to fall yesterday afternoon around Irwin at 2 pm and tapered off last night, but early this morning snowfall is picking back up. As of 5 am, areas to the west of Crested Butte have picked up around 5″ new but CBMR is sitting at a measly 1″. Areas to the west and north of town, per usual, will do best. Today you can expect snowfall for the first half of the day, around 2 to 5 additional inches, and diminish throughout the afternoon. Snowfall will stop by the evening. Immediately on the heels of today’s quick disturbance is a second shortwave trough slated to push through the area during midday tomorrow offering a few more inches of accumulation on Sunday. Looking ahead it looks like a significant Pacific system will begin to impact the region beginning on Christmas Day. Whoop Whoop! We are back in the snow!
