Snow totals are in from the first legitimate snowfall of the season in Colorado.
No one came close to the possible foot predicted by the National Weather Service, but even a few inches were enough to get us jonesing for powder days to come.
According to snowfall mapping stations, big winner from this first storm is tiny Glendevy, in remote north-central Colorado, with 8.8 inches.
Arapahoe Peak west of Nederland reported 8 inches. Nearby Rocky Mountain National Park picked up at least 6 inches. Berthoud Pass claimed 7.2 inches. Depending where you were on Cameron Pass, you got between 4 and 7 inches.
Here in Summit County, Loveland Pass and Blue River saw 2 to 2.5 inches.
A winter storm advisory was good for about 24 hours, Sept. 22 into Sept. 23, covering most of the Colorado High Country from Aspen to Summit on the I-70 mountain corridor, and up into Wyoming along U.S. Highway 40.
