The episode as NWS PUB wrote it up.
A long duration winter storm produced very heavy snow and strong winds at times...especially over the higher elevations of the eastern San Juan and La Garita Mountains...and the eastern Sawatch Range. Some of the higher reported snow totals included 13 inches near the summit of Monarch Pass in Chaffee County and an impressive 58 inches near the summit of Wolf Creek Pass in Mineral County.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Pueblo, CO wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Feb 28, 10:57 PM MST, 1 hour 4 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PUEBLO CO 1057 PM MST SAT FEB 28 2015 .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 749 PM MST SAT FEB 28 2015 ...BLIZZARD WARNING FOR THE SAN JUANS... HAVE UPGRADED THE SAN JUANS TO A BLIZZARD WARNING. KCPW HAS SHOWN THREE HOURS OF 50 PLUS MPH WINDS...ALONG WITH PERIODS OF HEAVY SNOW. HIGH WINDS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT. THERE WILL BE LOWER WIND SPEEDS EARLY SUNDAY...BUT THEN THE JET DESCENDS AND EVEN STRONGER WINDS ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT...ALONG WITH SNOW RATES OF 2-3 INCHES PER HOUR. THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL EVENT EVEN BY SAN JUANS STANDARDS...AND WILL BE LIFE THREATENING. ROAD CLOSURES WILL BE LIKELY AND ANY ACTIVITY IN THE AREA WILL BE HAZARDOUS FOR PERIODS OF THE WORST SNOW AND WIND. THIS IS A LONG DURATION EVENT AND EVEN AFTER SNOW LETS UP LATE MONDAY...WINDS WILL ACTUALLY INCREASE AND SIGNIFICANT DRIFTING AND SNOW LOAD WILL CONTINUE...LEADING TO EXTREME AVALANCHE DANGER. ROSE UPDATE ISSUED AT 613 PM MST SAT FEB 28 2015 BASED ON RADAR TRENDS AND HIGH RES GUIDANCE...HAVE REDUCED POPS SLIGHTLY OVER I-25 AND THE PLAINS. MOST GUIDANCE NOT SHOWING ANY QPF TONIGHT FOR THE ERN ZONES. WILL LEAVE LOW POPS IN...AS THERE IS SOME UPPER FORCING AND POSSIBILITY OF MINOR JET INDUCED BANDS THROUGH TONIGHT. BEST CHANCE CONTINUES TO BE OVER EL PASO. REST OF FORECAST ON TRACK. ROSE && .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY) ISSUED AT 252 PM MST SAT FEB 28 2015 CURRENTLY...AN UPPER TROUGH STRETCHED TO THE SW FROM THE GREAT BASIN TO THE WEST COAST...WITH THE UPPER LOW LOCATED OVER CENTRAL CA. THIS WAS STREAMING ABUNDANT MOISTURE ACROSS THE 4 CORNERS AND INTO COLORADO. A BREAK IN THE CLOUD COVER THIS MORNING PROVIDED FOR A PLEASANT FIRST HALF OF THE DAY...THOUGH TEMPS REMAINED COOL AND HAVE ONLY WARMED INTO THE TEENS TO MID 20S ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. CLOUDS HAVE BEEN ON THE INCREASE FROM THE SW...AND INTERMITTENT SNOW IS BEGINNING TO CREEP ACROSS THE AREA. TONIGHT AND TOMORROW...THE UPPER LOW MOVES VERY LITTLE OVER THE NEXT 24 HRS...AND THE PLENTIFUL STREAM OF MOISTURE REMAINS CONSTANT. ONE THING TO NOTE IS THAT ALL THE MODELS INDICATE THAT SNOWFALL IS A NEAR CERTAINTY FOR THE HIGHER TERRAIN...AND ESPECIALLY ALONG THE CONTDVD...SO ALL HIGHLIGHTS IN PLACE LOOK GOOD AT THIS TIME. THE SW FLOW ALOFT WILL BRING IMPRESSIVE SNOW AMOUNTS TO SW FACING SLOPES...AND AREAS SUCH AS WOLF CREEK ARE EXPECTED TO SEE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS MEASURED IN FEET. AS FOR THE SAN LUIS VALLEY AND EASTERN PLAINS...SHORT RANGE AND HI RES MODELS ALL POINT TO ACTIVITY RAMPING UP FOR 6-9 HOURS THROUGH THE EVENING...THEN REALLY TAPERING OFF THROUGH THE MORNING...AND THEN SLOWLY GETTING ACTIVE AGAIN BETWEEN 21Z AND 24Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE MOISTURE FEED REMAINS CONSTANT...BUT THE TRIGGER SEEMS TO BE DYNAMICS AND CAN BE TRACKED VIA THE VORTICITY FIELDS. HOWEVER...HAVING SAID ALL THAT...THE ATMOSPHERE IS PRIMED TO BE A VERY EFFICIENT SNOW/FLURRY MAKER...SO AM VERY HESITANT TO PULL POPS COMPLETELY THROUGH THE MORNING FOR THE PLAINS. THEREFORE...WILL KEEP 10 POPS DURING WHAT IS SUSPECTED TO BE LULL PERIODS. WHILE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE IMPRESSIVE FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS...THE SAN LUIS VALLEY AND E PLAINS SHOULD SEE ONLY AN INCH OR TWO OF NEW ACCUMULATION OVER THE NEXT 24 HRS. AS FOR TEMPS...NO CHANGE THERE AS COLD READINGS WILL PERSIST. MOORE .LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY) ISSUED AT 252 PM MST SAT FEB 28 2015 ...UNSETTLED WEATHER THROUGH WEDNESDAY THEN WARMER TEMPERATURES RETURN... IT IS GOING TO REMAIN UNSETTLED THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY AS THE TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN CONUS MOVES SLOWLY EAST. ONCE THIS TROUGH PASSES THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY...IT WILL GRADUALLY START TO WARM UP. HIGHS IN THE 50S ARE LIKELY TO RETURN BY FRIDAY. IN THE MEANTIME...IT IS GOING TO BE COLD WITH ON AND OFF PERIODS OF SNOW OVER THE PLAINS...WITH SNOW...VERY HEAVY AT TIMES...OVER THE MOUNTAINS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE SW SLOPES OF THE SAN JUANS. SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY... A BAND OF DEEP MOISTURE AND A MODERATE JET WILL BE OVER THE REGION 00Z MONDAY (6 PM SUNDAY). THIS IS GOING TO ALLOW FOR HEAVY SNOW OVER THE SAN JUANS SUNDAY EVENING WITH PERIODS OF SNOW OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION. THIS AREA OF SNOW WILL GRADUALLY LIFT NORTH THROUGH THE NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY DURING THE DAY MONDAY...SO OVERALL POPS WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE OVER THIS TIME PERIOD. WITH THAT SAID...SNOW OVER THE CONTDVD WILL LIKELY CONTINUE BUT THE INTENSITY WILL SUBSIDE SOMEWHAT MONDAY. IT IS LIKELY TO BECOME QUITE BREEZY TO WINDY OVER REGIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY AS A LEAD TROUGH MOVES OVER THE REGION AND THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS UP SIGNIFICANTLY. WINDS OVER THE MOUNTAINS...ESPECIALLY THE SAN JUANS....SANGRE DE CRISTOS AND THE WETS WILL BE QUITE STRONG...WITH GUSTS TO 40 TO 50 MPH LIKELY. PIKES PEAK WILL ALSO GET GUSTY. WINDS WILL ALSO BECOME QUITE BRISK OVER THE SAN LUIS VALLEY AND PARTS OF THE PLAINS. ON THE PLAINS...THE BEST CHANCE FOR STRONGER WINDS WILL BE SOUTH OF A LINE FROM ROUGHLY TRINIDAD TO LAMAR...AND POSSIBLY THE PALMER DIVIDE. THIS WIND WILL ALLOW THINGS TO MIX OUT QUITE A BIT AND TEMPS MONDAY ARE LIKELY TO WARM TO AROUND 40 MOST OF THE PLAINS AND VALLEYS...WITH MID 40S OVER THE FAR SE PLAINS. AREAS WHICH REMAIN COOL WILL LIKELY BE THE PUEBLO AREA. GIVEN THE STRONG FLOW...MAX TEMPS ON MONDAY ARE LIKELY GOING TO BE REVISED IN LATER FORECASTS...WITH THE WINDIER AREAS LIKELY WARMER THAN WHAT THE CURRENT GRIDS SHOW...WHILE AREAS THAT DO NOT SEE MUCH WIND MAY BE COOLER THAN CURRENT GRIDS SHOW. DURING THE DAY MONDAY...LITTLE IF ANY PRECIP IS EXPECTED ON THE PLAINS WITH MOST OF THE SNOW ALONG THE CONTDVD. SOME SNOW WILL ALSO BE AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE REMAINDER OF THE MTNS OVER THE FORECAST AREA. MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY... IT IS LIKELY GOING TO BE QUITE BREEZY/WINDY OVER THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT AS THE GRADIENT ALOFT REALLY TIGHTENS UP. THIS WILL LIKELY KEEP IT RELATIVELY MILD ON THE PLAINS...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF HIGHWAY 50 AND EAST OF THE MTNS. VERY WINDY CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY OVER ALL OF THE MTNS...WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS GENERALLY SOUTH OF US-50. IT IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT THE WINTER STORM WARNINGS FOR THE SAN JUANS MAY NEED TO BE UPGRADED TO A BLIZZARD WARNING FROM LATE MONDAY INTO EARLY TUESDAY. IT WILL BE DRY OVER THE PLAINS MONDAY NIGHT WITH SNOW OVER THE MTNS. HEAVY SNOW IS POSSIBLE ALONG THE CONTDVD. DURING THE DAY TUESDAY A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE DOWN THE PLAINS. THIS WILL DECREASE THE SFC WINDS...AND MOISTURE WILL GRADUALLY ONCE AGAIN INCREASE OVER THE PLAINS. HOWEVER...I EXPECT IT TO REMAIN DRY OVER NEARLY ALL OF THE PLAINS UNTIL LATE IN THE DAY TUESDAY. MAX TEMPS WILL OCCUR VERY EARLY DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS ON TUESDAY FOR THE PUEBLO AND COLO SPRINGS AREA...WITH TEMPS CRASHING BELOW FREEZING DURING THE LATE MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON TIME PERIOD. THE OVERALL WARMEST TEMPS THIS DAY WILL OCCUR IN EXTREME SE BACA COUNTY. AS FLOW TRANSITIONS FOR SW TO NW ALOFT DURING TUESDAY...THE HEAVIEST SNOW ALONG THE CONTDVD WILL DEVELOP OVER THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY... IT GETS QUITE COLD AND SNOWY ONCE AGAIN OVER THE PLAINS. TEMPS WILL FALL INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS BY EARLY WED MORNING AND WIDESPREAD LIGHT SNOW WILL LIKELY BE FALLING OVER MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE PLAINS. LOW AT 700 WILL BE WESTERLY SO THE UPSLOPE WILL NOT BE DEEP AND SNOW SHOULD BE LIGHT. SNOW WILL CONTINUE OVER THE C MTNS WITH SNOW FINALLY DECREASING OVER THE SW MTNS. SNOW SHOULD END OVER THE PLAINS LATE IN THE DAY ON WED. IF THE EC MODEL IS CORRECT...THE SNOW MAY END EARLIER. THURSDAY INTO THE WEEKEND... DRY CONDITIONS RETURN. WE SHOULD SEE TEMPS AT OR ABOVE 40F FOR MAXES OVER THE PLAINS THU...AND 50S FRI AND SAT. THIS DRY AND MILD PATTERN WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH MID WEEK NEXT WEEK. \/HODANISH && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z SUNDAY NIGHT) ISSUED AT 1035 PM MST SAT FEB 28 2015 STRONG PACIFIC JET STREAM WILL CONTINUE TO PUMP MOISTURE INTO THE FLIGHT AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THIS FLOW WILL IMPACT THE MOUNTAINS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE...WITH HEAVY SNOW AND GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS. FOR THE VALLEYS AND PLAINS TO THE LEE OF THE MOUNTAINS...SCATTERED LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT TIMES AS WAVES OF MOISTURE MOVE THROUGH. FOR THE KCOS...KPUB AND KALS TAF SITES...CONDITIONS WILL PRIMARILY BE MVFR TO VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH SNOW FLURRIES POSSIBLE AT OR NEAR THE SITES AT TIMES...BUT PRODUCING LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATION. THE MAIN AREA OF SNOWFALL FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS WILL BE CONFINED TO THE MOUNTAINS...WHERE MOISTURE LADEN PACIFIC AIR IS BEING STRONGLY LIFTED OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN. && .PUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
