Snow is on the way to Summit County, bringing much-needed moisture after recent record-high temperatures and an early season wildfire Sunday. Snow accumulation totals of up to 8 inches are expected at high elevations from an incoming Tuesday storm, and snow showers are predicted throughout the rest of the week.
Evan Direnzo, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Boulder, said the storm could start as early as Monday night with a slight chance of showers in higher terrain. Early Tuesday, there is a chance of snow for the entire Summit County area, and by Tuesday afternoon, snow is likely across the county. The forecast calls for 1 to 3 inches of snow in town through Tuesday night and 5 to 8 inches for higher elevations in the county, such as ski areas.

DENVER (AP) Denver’s airport was closed for a second day Monday after a powerful late winter snowstorm dumped over 3 feet of heavy, wet snow on parts of Colorado and Wyoming, shutting down roads, closing state legislatures in both states and interfering with COVID-19 vaccinations.
The 27 inches (68 centimeters) that had fallen by the end of Sunday at Denver International Airport on the plains east of downtown made it the fourth biggest snowfall in the city’s history, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder.
The storm system, fueled by moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, had moved out of the region and into northeastern Nebraska by Monday, said Evan Direnzo, a meteorologist for the weather service in Boulder.
