Here are the 24 hour rainfall totals ending at 4:30pm in the west metro area.
All this precipitation has been rain in the mountains below 7.000 feet which is really bad for ski resorts
just look at this photo of a big puddle at Hoodo Ski Resort
however on Friday afternoon a cold front will come through and lower the snow lever below pass levels and dump close to a foot of new snow in the mountains.
That same cold front will drop snow levels down to about 1,500 feet on Friday afternoon giving us in the valley, hail or ice pellets in heavy showers.
Some other good news is that New Years is looking dry due to a ridge of high pressure building over our area.
