05/05/26 8am: LFG! Stoked on the snow and rain! I have snow flying at my house right now as latest radar shows the storm really taking shape over northern CO with rain changing to snow along the northern front-range (from north to south) as we speak.

Already some snow accumulation for lower elevations and last night a bunch of snow in parts of the mountains on the front-end of the storm (you may have seen my post about it late last night in the group).

At my house I have already measured 0.24" of rain / melted snow! And we are just getting started.

Forecast is certainly on track as Den/Bou and all of the front-range urban corridor is under a Winter Storm Warning from 8pm this evening through 3pm tomorrow afternoon.

Lets take a look at some notable rain and snow totals this morning (just the very beginning of the storm).
