The view from ThorntonWeather.com's east facing webcam at 8:40am.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The snow began tapering off pretty early this morning but not until after it left 4 to 8 inches of the white stuff across much of the metro area.\u00a0 ThorntonWeather.com recorded 4.4 inches but that probably was a bit more – it was just tough to measure as the wind and blown it all over the place.\u00a0 We had some spots with an inch and others with a foot.\u00a0 Thornton seemed to do a good job clearing the major streets but of course residential and side streets were pretty slick.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today we’ll warm up to just above freezing at 33 degrees and Wednesday is looking very nice reaching near 50 degrees.\u00a0 Thursday there is a slight chance of snow but we are really keeping our eye on the period between Saturday and Monday as there is greater potential there for more snow.\u00a0 Stay tuned.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, here are some of the storm reports from across the region:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
