DENVER — Forecasters promised a beast of a storm Thursday and they weren’t kidding! The kicker? The snow’s not done with us just yet.
Areas in and around Denver have already recorded about 9 inches of snow so far, with places like Arvada, Boulder, Castle Rock and Highlands Ranch recording between 9 inches and nearly 2 feet of snow.
And as stated just two paragraphs above, the snow will keep coming throughout the rest of the day Thursday.
Check out some of the more impressive snow totals we’ve seen from around Colorado (so far):
Allenspark
In Allenspark, Shelly Weimer Cooper said earlier that she had recorded 24 inches in her backyard. Her dog didn't mind. As of 9 a.m., areas a mile southeast of Allenspark had recorded 30 inches.
Castle Rock
Those over in Castle Rock can rejoice at the fact that Mother Nature has gifted them with 20 inches of snow by Thursday morning. More snow is expected by the end of today.
Central City
Cars are buried in Central City right now, where more than 3 feet of snow has fallen as of early Thursday morning.
Coal Creek Canyon
Cars are also buried in Coal Creek Canyon, where almost three feet of snow had fallen by early Thursday, per Angela McLeland.
Conifer
People in Conifer will not be able to enjoy sitting on their patio furniture for the next few days after the area got over 2 feet of snow by Thursday afternoon. Can you spot the chairs from Lynn and Andrew Styes' backyard?
Estes Park
With 30 inches of snow so far, Robbie Gellhaus was "incredibly lucky to get this possibly National Geographic award-winning photo!!" We agree.
Evergreen
It's no surprise that Evergreen has gotten snow this time around, but it's gotten so much snow that Laura Keuhl took the opportunity to show us how her child reacted to 2 feet of snow on her front door.
Florissant
Humans aren't the only ones who are surprised when Mother Nature decides to play around and dump 2 feet of snow in areas like Florissant, where Claudia Addams captured her pup smelling that strange, white powder that fell from the sky overnight!
Nederland
Hopefully the folks in Nederland don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon. Cars are buried under the snow over there! Nearly 3 feet of snow (33.5 inches) has so far fallen as of 10 a.m. Thursday.
Rollinsville
If you want impressive though, look no further than Rollinsville (south of Nederland) where neighbors like Sally Brady are reporting over 40 inches of snow! 40! WHAT?! We hope it melts away fast so she can enjoy the beauty of Colorado's fake spring outdoors.
Denver’s predicted snow totals for Thursday’s storm could reach well over a foot or more in some locations, likely causing dangerous travel conditions in the metro and across the state. The Front Range mountains and foothills.
