For many years, I have been measuring and submitting to NOAA the amount of precipitation that falls on Pueblo Mountain Park every day. It has been a pretty boring job over the past many months with the lingering drought. But we did see a total of around a foot and a half of snow fall on the park in December, and a dusting the last couple of days. When I left my home this morning, with the intent of measuring the snow, the thermometer read 1F. Although we hadn’t received and new snow in the last 24 hours, I still needed to measure what the depth of the snow on the ground. I snapped a quick photo of the park’s “weather station,” then measured 5″ of snow on the ground. The lingering cold temps has the snows of December sticking around…I hope we get some more soon so I can strap on som
e snowshoes or skis and enjoy this winter wonderland!
