first snowfall of the season – AWESOME morning!
Published October 4, 2013
First day of SNOW! (and so early this year too 🙂 BONUS!)
Sure I’ve cheated & already seen snow in the mountains but first SNOW on my front porch — now that’s something special. Like being 9 years old again. Seriously dude, who doesn’t love first SNOW? Woo-hoo!
Summer’s finally over! Break out the poles & gloves!
First SNOW [came] crazy late this year – certainly not Oct 4th – but I’m just as excited. Talk at work, SNOW…the radio, SNOW…water-cooler buzz diverted from Trump to mountain ski conditions. Seems EVERYONE in Colorado was ready for today’s winter dusting.
Done marathoning ‘til December. Weekend plans? Snow camping – it’s what all the cool kids are doing 🙂

‘I still get super excited’: Boulder sees first snow of the season

The wait is over.
Snow fell in Boulder this morning for the first time this season after a drastic drop in temperatures over the past 24 hours. The snow began to fall across most of Boulder by 11 a.m. Local meteorologist Matt Kelsch said that the window for snow would likely end by tonight.
“The storm is very strong but also somewhat fast moving,” Kelsch said.
Robert Koopmeiners, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Boulder, reported 3 inches of snow in Boulder and most other spots of Boulder County as of 6 p.m.
It was the latest Boulder has ever recorded measurable snowfall. The previous latest snowfall was Nov. 15, which happened in 1987, 1988 and 2005.
The snow comes one day after Boulder saw a high of 80, the hottest November day ever for the city, eclipsing the previous record of 79 set on Nov. 4, 1952.
…the longer-than-normal wait for snow was a little unnerving.
“Normally you see something by Halloween. I think everybody was happy it finally snowed.”
Things should begin to warm up again over the weekend. Friday’s forecast calls for sunny skies with a high of 39 and an overnight low of 19.
