At the end of last week Denver was hit with an intense low pressure that dumped record amounts of snow. After it was all said and done Denver had 15.9" of snow over the 2 days, making it the record of a storm in the month of February. Boulder, CO also smashed their previous storm snow total record of 16.5" with a whopping 22.7" of snow! Some spots in the mountains, like Jamestown had 46" in this storm only. In Pine Junction they totaled 39" of snow in 2 days. Snow fall rates were at times close to 1-2" per hour. At some points in the foothills, the snow fall rate was in excess of 2" per hour. With winds out of the north at 15-25 mph and gusts up to 35 mph, some snow drifts were close to 5 feet tall!
