SNOW TOTALS: 28″ of snow hits mountain town, big totals elsewhere around Colorado

As was expected, big snow hit Colorado this week. While Colorado Springs escaped this one without much of an impact, the Denver metro area and northern Colorado got hit hard.

UPDATE: This piece has been updated on Thursday, May 7 to reflect updated snow totals with new locations added, as well.

Following this week’s snow, statewide snowpack has officially escaped record-low territory, though it’s still at just 25 percent of the norm for the date. Snow is expected to be gone from Colorado’s highest peaks in a matter of weeks, significantly ahead of schedule – more on that here.
