3-6+" of Snow and Frigid Temperatures

**Updated 9:30pm: This storm is over-performing, which I alluded to might happen below. I measure 4" and counting in Boulder at the moment; if snow continues at this rate for several more hours, then 6"+ is certainly in sight, especially in some isolated locations. Original post below.**

For once, I'm actually in agreement with the official National Weather Service (NWS) forecast for 2-5." While earlier I thought totals might be on the lower end of the range, it now looks like they're likely to be higher. At 7:30pm in Boulder we already have nearly 2" of snow.

If this forecast busts, I expect it to bust "high" as opposed to "low." Meaning isolated totals of 6 to 8 inches, while unlikely, are not impossible.

You'll wake up to temperatures in the upper teens on Tuesday with highs right around the freezing mark, with some sun possible during the latter part of the day.

Report your snow totals in the comments section!

As I've alluded to recently, I think Dec 10-20 will be cold and snowy here in Colorado and another major snow event may be possible this weekend. Perhaps severe cold to follow it.
