SNOW TOTALS: Two feet of snow hits parts of Colorado over weekend
Another big round of snow hit Colorado over the weekend, bringing the statewide snowpack back to 91 percent of the to-date norm – still lagging behind what’s typical for the start of February, but not by much.
The storm hit a little bit differently than expected, but still dropped totals of up to two feet. Ultimately, the storm landed a little farther east compared to initial reports that said mountains in the west would see the deepest accumulation.
