A quick change from the record heat Denver had experienced earlier in the week. After breaking a 130 year old record with an 82 degree high on Monday, Denver drops into the 40s with convective storms popping up.
Video package includes footage of graupel and snow pellets coming down with one of the area’s convective storms. It wasn’t quite snow as the temperature was in the mid 40s at the time of this storm, so it was almost a hailstorm. Various shots of heavy snow pellets/graupel hitting the ground and nearby cars.
After dark footage of the snowstorm that dumped epic snow rates across the front range around Denver, CO. Snow totals in Denver are adding up quickly as 2-3″ snowfall rates piles on the snow.
Video package shot in north Denver after dark during the snowstorm where half a foot of snow had fallen in 5 hours time on the north side. This video was shot along Federal and 120th Avenue of traffic and snow plows driving across snow covered roads.
Video ends as the snowstorm has cleared the Denver area and cleanup can begin. Video package includes various scenes of people shoveling snow, snow blowing, and bull-dozing.
Storm Chaser Tony Laubach sent in one very cool video package in tonight that actually shows how Denver, CO has gone from Summer back to Winter as the city had hail this afternoon and now has heavy snow falling this evening. A very strong storm system promising big snows in Denver over the next 24 hours lead in with thunderstorms across the metro area. A thunderstorm with graupel (very fine, small hail) moves over downtown Denver mid-afternoon on Tuesday accompanied by some claps of thunder. This storm is a sign of good instability with this system and should dump 8-16″ of snow across Denver by this time tomorrow.
Video package includes shots during the height of the thunderstorm with bee-bee sized graupel falling along Speer Blvd. in Denver. Several clips contain audio track of thunder with various traffic shots during the storm. A shot of my arm with the graupel falling on a black sleeve shows the ice close up.
Then the Snow begins during the evening commute with extremely heavy snow falling with a snowy clip looking at the state capital building. Various other shots of traffic driving through heavy snow as well as people around downtown walking through the very heavy snow.
Ends with shots of people clearing snow from their cars.
Storm Chaser Tony Laubach was out covering the major winter storm system in Denver, CO this week as the temps dropped from the mid 70s with sunny skies to below freezing and a winter storm.
The Wild Rice River is flooding it’s banks and creating major flooding that is impacting Richland County, ND which is just south of the Fargo area near the town of Abercrombie, ND.
Most of the rural roads within a mile of the river are being washed away as the flooding backs up into farmers fields and then spills over the roadways to create a new path for the water to flow.
The last clip is four minutes of video that is compressed into ten seconds of time lapse footage.
Major flooding is setting up in the Red River Valley to the southeast of the Fargo / Moorhead area as above normal temps rapidly melt off the winter snow pack.
Footage shows the major flooding impacting the Sabin, MN area along the Buffalo River which has burst it’s banks by a half mile in places.
The area was covered with fog and lite rain as the flood waters covered the landscape.
