Some impressive snow and liquid totals from the ongoing May snowstorm

05/06/26 8:45am: Wow! Impressive May snowstorm! In fact officially Denver's biggest May snow-storm I think (based on the airport total). But so stoked the storm panned out and its still snowing moderately. Not so stoked on many broken branches around our neighborhood.

Some big totals this morning (and these are not final). At my house in Westminster I measured 7.2" total (measurements off my snowboard) with an impressive: 1.15" of swe (snow-water-equivalent)

Crazy to see 12-30" in the foothills. With a solid 5-12" across much of the northern front-range urban corridor (Den/Bou).

Here are some notable 48hr snow (and liquid) total from CoCoRaHS this morning:

Estes Park 1.8 S: 27.9 (2.24)

Allenspark 2.3 N: 26.1 (1.96)

Lyons 8.9 WNW 19.0 (1.86)

Kittredge 2.5 SSE (Evergreen): 14.5 (1.29)

Boulder 1.8 NW: 11.3 (1.57)

Nederland 0.4 WNW 10.1 (1.08)

Loveland 4.0 W: 8.5 (2.10)

Lakewood 1.5 WSW: 8.0 (0.89+)

Highlands Ranch 3.3 E 8.0 (1.35)

Westminster 1.1 SW: 7.2 (1.15)

Broomfield 1.2 NE: 6.6 (1.11)

Fort Collins 3.8 SW: 6.0 (1.51)

Denver 2.0 ESE 5.0 (0.82+)

Cherry Hills V. 2.1 N (Denver): 4.8 (1.21)

Denver Int. Airport (DIA): 4.7

Dumpage in the mountains as well. Here are some notable 48hr reports by looping the snow-stakes:

A-Basin: 16

Copper Mtn: 15

Steamboat: 14

Vail 13

Loveland: 11

Winter Park: 10

Beaver Creek: 10

Aspen Mtn: 4

Later we look at more official liquid total from MRMS and update snow totals since its still snowing!

First image shows some of the tree / bush damage at my house this morning (luckily the lilac plant was ok, had some tree limbs down). Second image shows 48hr snowfall reports on the front-range. Third image was from a friend (and group member) Laura Levy from Lyons this morning with close to 2ft there! Image 4 and 5 are from my house as well.

Such an awesome storm! How much snow did you get? How much liquid?
