A variety of winter weather advisories had been issued for Colorado. The Winter Weather Advisory for the Front Range has been cancelled. (NWS)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Update, 1:01pm<\/strong> – The Winter Weather Advisory for the Front Range has been cancelled.\u00a0 The snow may be gone but the bitter cold remains.\u00a0 ThorntonWeather.com recorded a wind chill of -11.2\u00b0F at 10:59am!<\/p>\n

Temperatures will warm slightly this afternoon before plunging overnight to below zero.\u00a0 Stay warm!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Update, 12\/8\/09, 6:50am:\u00a0<\/strong>Bitter cold would be an accurate term to describe the weather the Mile High City is waking up to this morning. Temperatures are in the single digits across the Front Range and wind chills are dipping to zero and below.<\/p>\n

The snow we were expecting is going to arrive but it will be slower than expected and likely not as much as original forecast. Snow showers are slowly developing to the west and moving into Denver early this morning but with the severe cold and dry atmosphere, snow is going to have a hard time really getting going.<\/p>\n

For now, we will forecast 2 to 4 inches in the Denver metro area with higher amounts in the foothills and mountains. A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for much of eastern Colorado until this evening although it is likely it will be cancelled before then.<\/p>\n

Areas of Larimer and Weld counties are going to be the areas near Denver that will be hardest hit. I-25 to the Wyoming border is likely to be in pretty rough shape as the system passes.<\/p>\n

The cold temperatures are the real story with this storm and we see it in our forecast high temperature for Tuesday of only 12 degrees. Tonight, some clearing is expected and those areas that do get clear skies can expect some very cold temperatures. Lows tonight will certainly drop below zero.<\/p>\n
