Finally a look at the latest snow-depth from the SNOTEL sites via CAIC, including which zone they are in, elevation of the station and current depth (for depths > 2", which exclude some front-range and vail/summit sites with just 1" lol).

All the meaningful snow depths are really down in the San Juans with an imprssive: 2-3ft on ground already. Some descent depths in the Sawatch and Elks as well... And very little over northern CO, sigh.
