You can have 1 inch of snow fall and still be in a Blizzard Warning. And yeah, looks like Denver is included. Enjoy and stay safe! Wish I was in any of those areas under snow!

If Green Bay gets 12" of snow it will be the 1st time on record getting that much in 1 day after March 15th (129yrs of record!)





Problem is, it all wont fall before or after midnight. Should get split up

I noticed you don't post when it snows. I cant say you're another TomFalcons77 because I think you did once or twice. I hope you can post because others are interested in seeing pictures and posts from there as well.


Anyway .. Heavy Snow Discussion out for Denver and area (blue outline). Stay Safe
