Snow is expected to continue to fall this weekend, likely adding to some of these numbers. For a full breakdown of what the weather will be like around the state this weekend, check out this article.

Two big factors that have caused snowpack to soar so high include consistent snowfall throughout the season, as well as huge dumps that occurred at the beginning of March. The snowfall has had a huge impact on drought conditions in Colorado, likely to lead to a drought-free Colorado by summer.
