Snow in the Front Range

4 02 2007

And winter rolls on here in Colorado. I just checked out the NOAA Website for Boulder. The march towards the record for Consecutive Days of Snow Cover continues: by early this week, this year’s streak will be 3rd place all time. But… with the forecast calling for temps in the upper 40s to upper 50s for the next week, the streak might end before getting to 60days and second place.
