Boulder is expected to get another round of snow, but this time the forecast calls for more than a light dusting.
Why it matters: Just after breaking the record for the latest snowfall in a season and nearly ending a consecutive snowless streak, Boulder is bracing for its first significant snowfall of the season.
The latest: The forecast as of Tuesday called for a couple of overnight inches and up to a half-foot throughout Wednesday.
- That's more than the 0.3 inches Boulder collected during its first flakes last weekend.
Threat level: Boulder Valley officials said as of midday Tuesday it would evaluate the accumulation and forecast, but had no announcements about delayed school starts or closures.
- No local governments have made any closure announcements.
- But the timing could mean messy morning and afternoon commutes Wednesday.
Yes, but: The first truly impactful snowfall of the season means the return of our favorite snow-day tropes.
What we're watching: Of course, enjoy the snow while you can. Sunny skies are expected to return by Thursday.
