Welcome to February all! You know what that means!! Severe weather season is one month closer and my storm chasing season is less than 60 days away! For you normal people, it means one month less of winter. Something I'm sure most of us could use a break from!

And you're going to get it... at least for the next few days! Temps will warm nicely into the 50s and maybe lower 60s with a downsloping wind helping with warming closer to the foothills (me in Lakewood oughta do niiiice). The next system looks to be moving into the area at the start of the weekend (is there a schedule for this that I'm missing) bringing with it a chance of snow with colder temps.

The last storm put us over our seasonal average for snowfall this season, and with two months left, we'll should do quite well in terms of the top snowfall seasons in Denver. The record is still a ways off at 118.7 inches (1908-1909), but it certainly is possible with the two snowiest months upcoming. As for current record breaking numbers, tomorrow will tie the 3rd longest amount of consecutive days with snow on the ground. If the warm weather doesn't melt all the snow before Wednesday, we'll take over the 3rd longest streak. If at least an inch of snow remains through the weekend, we could continue to add to that streak as there is a chance for more snow to fall. If we hit 61 days, we'll be in 2nd, but at that point, we'll be close enough to the 1983-1984 record of 63 days. As of yesterday, the official Stapleton measuring site had 9 inches. Is it enough of a buffer to stand up to the next few days? We shall see!
