The episode as NWS PUB wrote it up.
A blizzard impacted the I-25 corridor and the southeast plains of Colorado with snow amounts up to 20 inches...wind gusts in excess of 50 mph...and visibilites near zero at times. Several roads...including US Highway 50 between Pueblo and Penrose...and a section of I-25 around Walsenburg...were closed for several hours. Power was temporarily knocked out to around 14,000 customers...and numerous airline flights were cancelled at Colorado Springs. In the Pikes Peak Region...around a foot of snow fell in the northern part of El Paso County...while around 5 inches fell in the central and southern sections of the county. Snow amounts across the rest of the I-25 corridor ranged from around 8 inches in Pueblo to 16 inches in Trinidad (Las Animas County). Snow amounts across the rest of the southeast plains ranged from 16 to 20 inches.

NWS Pueblo, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Mar 26, 3:38 AM MST, 8 hours 22 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 438 AM MDT THU MAR 26 2009 .SHORT TERM... (TODAY AND TONIGHT) ...MAJOR WINTER STORM SET TO SLAM SOUTHERN COLORADO... ...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS EXPECTED ALONG AND EAST OF I-25 FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY... CURRENTLY...UPPER LOW OVER WESTERN WYOMING EARLY THIS MORNING... WITH NICE CIRCULATION ALREADY EVIDENT IN LATEST SATELLITE LOOPS. SNOW INCREASING ALONG AND WEST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE...WHILE A FEW WARM ADVECTION SNOW SHOWERS PUSH NORTH ACROSS THE EASTERN MOUNTAINS AND PLAINS. COLD FRONT PUSHING RAPIDLY SOUTH ACROSS WYOMING AS OF 10Z...WITH STRONG NORTH WINDS AND FALLING TEMPS NORTH OF THE CHEYENNE RIDGE. CLOUDS HAVE KEPT TEMPS FAIRLY MILD OVER THE PLAINS...ALONG WITH LIGHT WINDS...THE PROVERBIAL CALM BEFORE THE STORM. TODAY...OVER THE MOUNTAINS...SNOWFALL WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY THROUGH THE DAY AS UPWARD DYNAMIC MOTION INCREASES...WITH PERIODS OF HEAVY SNOW OVER THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS BY AFTERNOON. WINTER STORM WARNING FOR ALL MOUNTAIN AND HIGH VALLEY ZONES LOOKS REASONABLE...AS STRONG DYNAMIC LIFT WILL PRODUCE HEAVY SNOW ACROSS MOST VALLEY LOCATIONS BY LATE IN THE DAY. ADDED THE SAN LUIS VALLEY TO THE WINTER STORM WARNING...WITH HEAVY SNOW OVER THE WESTERN SIDE AS EASTERLY WINDS BREAK THROUGH THE PASSES AND SET UP CONVERGENCE FROM MONTE VISTA WESTWARD. WITH STRONG EASTERLY WINDS ALOFT...WILL LIKELY SEE HEAVY SNOW SPILL OVER THE SANGRES AS WELL...WITH LOCATIONS AROUND CRESTONE AND BLANCA RECEIVING SUBSTANTIAL ACCUMULATIONS. OVER THE EAST...COLD FRONT REACHES THE COLORADO/WYOMING BORDER BY SUNRISE...THEN PUSHES RAPIDLY SOUTH TO THE PALMER DIVIDE BY 18Z...THEN THE NEW MEXICO BORDER BY 00Z. STRONG UPSLOPE AND COLD ADVECTION WILL SATURATE THE POST FRONTAL AIR MASS VERY QUICKLY...WITH HEAVIER PRECIP BREAKING OUT ALONG THE PALMER DIVIDE AROUND NOON...THEN RAPIDLY FILLING IN OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS AND SOUTHERN I-25 CORRIDOR BY LATE AFTERNOON. AIR ALOFT IS VERY COLD...AND WOULD EXPECT A RAPID CHANGE OVER TO SNOW ACROSS ALL BUT THE FAR SOUTHEAST CORNER OF BACA COUNTY BY SUNSET. WITH SUCH STRONG COLD ADVECTION...EXPECT NORTH WINDS TO INCREASE VERY QUICKLY FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...WITH GUSTS OVER 40 MPH COMMON. BLIZZARD WARNING THUS BEGINS AT 21Z FOR MOST OF THE EASTERN PLAINS...AS CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE QUICKLY BY EVENING RUSH HOUR...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE ARKANSAS RIVER. TONIGHT...UPPER LOW DROPS SOUTH INTO NORTHERN NEW MEXICO...WITH STRONG DYNAMIC AND OROGRAPHIC UPWARD MOTION OVER ALL OF SOUTHERN COLORADO. WILL SEE MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW AREAWIDE...WITH AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS...WHILE CONDITIONS ON THE PLAINS WILL BE EVEN WORSE...WITH GUSTY NORTH WINDS AT 35 TO 45 MPH PRODUCING WIDESPREAD BLOWING SNOW. HEAVIEST SNOW AND STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE OVER THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS SOUTH OF THE ARKANSAS RIVER. SOME CONCERN ABOUT PRECIP SHADOW DEVELOPING OVER SOUTHERN EL PASO AND PUEBLO COUNTIES...THOUGH STRONG DYNAMICS AND POTENTIAL TROWAL MAY OVERCOME NORTHEASTERLY DOWNSLOPE. EVEN WITH DOWNSLOPE...MODELS SUGGEST 8-10 INCHES FROM THE SOUTH SIDE OF COS DOWN TO PUEBLO...WITH 12+ AMOUNTS BEGINNING JUST OF THE ARKANSAS RIVER. KEPT HIGHLIGHTS FAIRLY SIMPLE OVERNIGHT...WINTER STORM WARNING MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS WEST OF I-25...BLIZZARD WARNING ALONG AND EAST OF I-25. EXPECT TRAVEL TO BECOME DIFFICULT TO IMPOSSIBLE AT TIMES AS EARLY AS THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS. --PETERSEN .LONG TERM... (FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY) ...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE PLAINS ON FRIDAY... HIGH IMPACT WEATHER TO CONTINUE FOR MUCH OF SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO ON FRIDAY. MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT IN DROPPING THE CLOSED LOW INTO NRN NM...THEN DEEPENING IT AS IT MOVES INTO THE TX PANHANDLE BY FRI EVENING...AND EVENTUALLY INTO OK BY FRI NIGHT. GFS IS A BIT FASTER WITH THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE LOW ON FRI...WHILE NAM IS SLOWEST. ECMWF IS IN BETWEEN BUT CLOSER TO THE 00Z NAM. THIS HAS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE DURATION OF BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ACROSS A PORTION OF THE PLAINS EXTENDING INTO SUN NIGHT. BROAD AREA OF STRONG ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE WILL STILL BE ORIENTED ACROSS EASTERN CO ON FRIDAY WITH H7 WINDS NE AT 40 KTS AND H6 WINDS EAST 30-40 KTS. THIS WILL PROVIDE FAVORABLE OROGRAPHICS FOR THE SOUTHEAST MTS. TROWAL WILL BE ORIENTED ACROSS THE SE CORNER WITH BAND OF HEAVIEST SNOW ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO...MAINLY SOUTH OF THE ARKANSAS RIVER VALLEY. AS TROWAL SHIFTS SOUTHWARD...THE NORTHERLY DOWNSLOPE WINDS OFF THE PALMER SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH SNOWFALL ACROSS SRN EL PASO...AND NRN PUEBLO COUNTY BY LATE MORNING...THOUGH GUSTY NORTH WINDS SHOULD KEEP A GOOD DEAL OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW ACROSS THE REGION. BY AFTERNOON SHOULD SEE SOME IMPROVEMENT ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE AREA AS PRECIP SHIELD BEGINS TO PULL AWAY TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. HAVE BEGUN TO SHAVE WINTER WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS OUT OF THE SAN LUIS VALLEY AND WESTERN MOUNTAINS AND THE PIKES PEAK REGION AND FREMONT COUNTY AFTER 18Z. WILL KEEP BLIZZARD WARNING OUT FOR THE SE CORNER UNTIL 06Z...THOUGH IF YOU BELIEVE THE FASTER GFS...WE MAY NEED TO END HIGHLIGHTS OUT THERE EVEN SOONER. REGARDLESS OF THESE TIMING DIFFERENCES...BOTH NAM AND GFS INDICATE A GOOD 10 TO 20 INCHES ACROSS MUCH OF THE PLAINS...WITH 1 TO 2 FEET ACROSS THE FAVORED NORTHEAST FACING SLOPES OF THE SOUTHEAST MTNS...PIKES PEAK REGION...AND PALMER DIVIDE. TOTALS FOR COLORADO SPRINGS SOUTH TO PUEBLO...PROBABLY AROUND 8-10 INCHES (WITH MAJORITY OF THIS FALLING THURS NIGHT...SEE DISCUSSION ABOVE)...AND 6 INCHES TO CLOSE TO A FOOT ACROSS THE SAN LUIS VALLEY WHERE THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS WILL OCCUR ALONG THE VALLEY EDGES. ALL APPEARANCES ARE THAT THIS STORM IS GOING TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON SOUTHEAST COLORADO...WITH THE PROBABILITY OF ROAD CLOSURES DUE TO VISIBILITY AND BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. STORM PULLS AWAY SAT NIGHT WITH SUNDAY DRYING OUT ACROSS THE AREA. WITH LIKELIHOOD OF EXTENSIVE SNOW COVER ACROSS THE REGION...HAVE KEPT TEMPS BELOW GUIDANCE READINGS. ANOTHER SYSTEM DROPS IN FROM THE NORTHWEST ACROSS CO SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY NIGHT. FOR NOW APPEARS THIS SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS CEN CO...PROVIDING ANOTHER SHOT OF SNOW FOR THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. HAVE INCREASED POPS FOR THIS AREA. GFS IS FARTHER SOUTH WITH THE TRACK OF THE UPPER LOW MOVING INTO WRN KS SUN NIGHT...WHILE ECMWF HAS UPPER LOW LIFTING INTO WRN NE. GFS WOULD SUGGEST SOME WRAP AROUND SNOW MOVING INTO PORTIONS OF SE CO...WHILE ECMWF WOULD SUGGEST A DRIER SOLN. WILL PULL SOME 20 POPS ACROSS THE PLAINS FOR NOW AND LET LATER SHIFTS GET A BETTER HANDLE ON THE TRACK OF THIS NEXT SYSTEM. NO FURTHER CHANGES MADE TO EXTENDED PERIOD GRIDS. -KT && .AVIATION... COLD FRONT RACES THROUGH KCOS BY 18Z AND KPUB SHORTLY AFTER...WITH LOWERING CIGS AND VISIBILITY BY LATE AFTERNOON AS SNOW DEVELOPS. EXPECT WIDESPREAD IFR BY 21Z AT KCOS...AROUND 23Z AT KPUB. SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT...WITH IFR AND BRIEFLY LIFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED. SOME IMPROVEMENT IN THE 15Z-18Z TIMEFRAME FRIDAY AS WINDS AND SNOW DIMINISH. AT KALS...SNOW WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON...THOUGH WINDS WILL BE WEAKER THAN ON THE PLAINS. STILL LOOKING FOR IFR CONDITIONS FROM LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH THE NIGHT...SLOW IMPROVEMENT FRIDAY MORNING. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
