If you’ve kept your ear to the ground when it comes to snow forecasting, you probably already know that significant snowfall is coming… soon. And to clarify, significant snowfall means roughly 10 – 15 inches, a pretty good amount for this time of year.

Our good friend Joel Gratz over at Opensnow.com is predicting over 10 inches of snow for elevetions above 11,000ft Thursday through Friday with more snow to showing up on Sunday.

Here’s a quick preview of what Joel has to say:

“Significant precipitation will fall over most of Colorado from Thursday midday through Friday with snow accumulating over 10,000. Mountains that are along and east of the divide will see the heaviest snow with amounts over 10 inches for elevations above 11,000-12,000ft. After the storm, Saturday will dry out and be sunny, then a colder storm will bring 5-7 inches of snow for the northern half of the state on Sunday. Most of next week should be dry.”
