If the maximum amount fell, we could see double digits in snow inches by the weekend.

I could tell something may be approaching us as we were presented with the fulfillment of a annual dream, a white Christmas. Drizzle in the morning slowly morphed to heavy snow by the afternoon, and it was beautiful.

Heavy snow is possible all across the northern Front Range, with greater amounts possible for areas in higher elevations like Estes Park and Red Feather Lakes. By the weekend, the mountainous areas could have up to a foot, and Fort Collins could see half of that.

The National Weather Service is calling for snow from Christmas Day, into the night and through the morning, chances of snow through Thursday and Friday. A sunny Saturday will break things up, with a chance of snow returning on Monday.

Further from the mountains, in Greeley, snow amounts are expected to decrease. A few inches are expected tonight and tomorrow in Greeley, and further east, Morgan county will probably see less than that.
