[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a weird post. Look up the conditions/weather for specific places. [/quote]

DP. Not weird question at all. It’s surprisingly difficult to get good weather forecasts for the ski areas in CO.  I am in CO now, and it started snowing Christmas Day and has snowed since. About four days ago, AccuWeather said it was going to be in the mid 40’s and sunny on Christmas Day. I was in my car on Christmas Eve and the car thermometer read 33 degrees and AccuWeather said the current temperature was 45. The Apple weather app was a little better, but even on Christmas Eve it was still predicting only a slight chance of flurries on Christmas Day and we got a solid 6 inches. I think the problem is that they do the weather regionally and it doesn’t capture areas with stark geographic differences within those areas. I’ve done a bunch of googling on different weather sites, and they’re all bad, to varying degrees. The best site I found for snow out here is the USGS water dashboard. You can click and see snow forecasts for up to the next 7 days. It was the only place I saw a forecast for the snow we actually got.
