Four Colorado resorts expected to get ONE INCH of snow as dry spell continues
Whomp whomp. Colorado’s dry spell continues with the state’s snowpack now at all-time record lows for the second day in a row.
As of January 14, the state is at 62 percent of the snowpack that’s typical for the date, with not much snow on the horizon for at least another week. If the trend continues, this snow season might be the driest for Colorado on record, with records dating back to 1987. At this point, the typical snowpack peak is 85 days away, said to be April 8.
OpenSnow reports that four Colorado resorts do have some snow on the way – Arapahoe Basin, Breckenridge, Loveland Ski Area, and Winter Park – but that the expected snow over the next five days comes in at a total of about an inch.
Snowfall mapping from the National Weather Service shows a likelihood of no snow statewide through at least Saturday morning, though if the 10%-chance ‘high-end’ snowfall scenario occurs, widespread totals of about an inch could fall in northern and eastern Colorado. Some high-elevation peaks could get a little more, too – between one and three inches.

It’s worth noting that there’s a chance of snow on January 22 and January 23 for some mountain towns, but otherwise, it’s looking like the state will continue to be relatively dry and warmer-than-norm until February.
