How are conditions in your neck of the woods this morning? How cold did you get? How much snow?

First image show low temps since 12am from the NWS hazard / data viewer. Second image is latest surface map showing current temps, dewpt, wind-speed and precip across the state. Third image shows 72hr snowfall from NOHRSC ending at 6pm yesterday (includes the Sat-Mon storm and Tue/Wed storm) it is interpolated so it can be off / too low in spots (like near Vail). Image 4 and 5 show CoCoRaHS map snippetts showing the 48hr totals over the front-range and parts of the mountains.
