In North/Central Colorado Springs yesterday, we had a full day of gloomy cloud cover - but nothing more than 15 minutes of drizzle and 0 inches of snow accumulation. The weather predictions have been calling for 100% chance of rain/snow all week (including all day yesterday), yet we got nothing more than thick mist (nothing that can be measured). There is no way you can call that rain. The storm prediction was definitely a complete bust for this area.

Despite all these recent storm predictions, we have only had one storm that left behind 2" of snow for all of March. The other storms around the State produced absolutely nothing for us. That is pretty pathetic! We need far more moisture than this...

It was a fairly steady, though not heavy rain here last night (Stetson) for a fair amount of time.

The Gazette reports that "areas around Colorado Springs" got 0.10 inches of rain last night (although our part of town didn't even see that much, I'm sure of it). Definitely a complete let-down:
Overnight storm not as significant as predicted, but also not over | Colorado Springs Gazette, News

I'm not sure what they are talking about when they say it is "not over", when it is obviously over for Colorado Springs. It looks like only Pueblo might get some more.

We had steady rain from about 10 pm-1:30 am last night then it changed to 2 inches of snow. YEs it was a bust I guess sort of for us but at least up here CoS/Monument border we did get a fair amount of moisture. Next storm heading in Friday/sat.

We had a couple of inches of snow on the grass, north of Briargate here. Some moisture all night & insane winds (north facing bedroom), that kept me up all night. I would not have wanted to be out in it overnight due mainly to the winds. I'm not complaining, we got good moisture, but I'm gonna need a nap today!

The weather reporters sure are having trouble with these predictions lately, aren't they? Last night, almost all the news stations and weather reports called for anywhere between 5-12" of snow overnight. We ended up with about 1/4". Then, they all called for less than an inch today, and we got about 3". Oh well, at least we got snow today! That made me happy after two disappointing predictions.

I follow some different news sources and I think they were a little closer. Last night down where I live just some rain, today several hours of big white flakes - mostly finished now - but too warm to stick that much. Less than an inch on the grass but plenty of water overall.

Fox21 news said we'd get hardly anything, meanwhile KKTV went from 4-8 for downtown to 0-2 fairly quickly.
