The Lone Wolf??
Seriously...National Weather Service in Colorado puts out the following statement and there is nothing from Knauer:
CONFIDENCE IS VERY HIGH THAT THIS STORM WILL PRODUCE
SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF SNOW THAT OCCURS EXTREMELY RARE...PERHAPS OF
EPIC PROPORTIONS. AT THE SAME TIME...PROVIDING PINPOINT DETAILS WILL
BE A CHALLENGE AS THE MESOSCALE MODEL DATA LOSES SKILL BEYOND 1 TO 2
DAYS. BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT SUBSTANTIAL SNOW WILL IMPACT
GUNNISON COUNTY AND CONCEIVABLY THE AREAS SURROUNDING AND INCLUDING
CRESTED BUTTE THAT COULD RECEIVE 6 TO 8 FEET FOR A STORM TOTAL BY
THURSDAY (AS WELL AS OTHER ISOLATED AREAS IN GUNNISON COUNTY). THE
SAME CONCERNS EXIST FOR SILVERTON WHERE ACCESS OVER THE SOUTHERN
PASSES COULD GET SHUT DOWN FOR EXTENDED PERIODS. AGAIN...SNOWFALL
WILL BE RELENTLESS AND UNFORGIVING AS THIS STORM HAS SIERRA NEVADA
CHARACTERISTICS WITH STRONG DEEP MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE
CENTRAL ROCKIES.
