Never-Ending Mountain Snow
by Meteorologist Chris Tomer

     The San Juan and Sangre De Cristo Mountain Ranges are pushing 200% of normal snowpack depths.  Here's an example: Wolf Creek Ski area has received 415" of snow already this winter season - and it's only mid February!  March is our snowiest month.

     If you're curious about what the FOX-31 Weather Team is forecasting for the Front Range and Eastern Plains during the months of March, April, and May then watch our FOX-31 Weather Special at 930pm on February 22nd.  We're working on a detailed long-range winter and early spring outlook.

 All this snow becomes our water supply come Spring and Summer.
