The Thanksgiving snowstorm didn’t come in one bunch but instead delivered snow in spurts, resulting in snowfall totals of more than a foot in areas west of Fort Collins on Thursday through Saturday.
The snow and cold created slick travel conditions that prompted the city to go on accident alert Saturday as a second round of snow fell on top of icy streets.
The snow also caused flight delays at Denver International Airport on Saturday.
Larger snowfall amounts favored the western part of Fort Collins, which saw a wide range of snow totals.
Fort Collins officially received 4 inches of snow Thursday into Friday at its weather station on the main CSU campus. Snowfall amounts from Saturday were unavailable Sunday morning.
The snow was the second snowfall of the 2023-24 season for Fort Collins, which received 5.8 inches of snow Oct. 28-29.
