Final January storm will bring light flakes to Colorado’s mountains, but that won’t do much for the state’s record-low snowpack

January’s final storm won’t bring much snow to Colorado’s high country. A cooling weather pattern arriving during the second half of February, however, could bring much needed relief to the state’s record-low snowpack. Following a stormy weekend that brought 6-12 inches to Colorado’s northern and central mountains, the northern mountains could see “a few pulses of storm energy” from Wednesday evening into Friday, according to a Wednesday OpenSnow report . The storm is expected to bring 3-8 inches of snow to the mountains, falling mostly near or at the Steamboat Resort. Other northern mountains — like Vail, Breckenridge, Copper and Keystone — will likely be on the lower end for any snowfall.
