On the 4th anniversary of a significant snowstorm that brought more than a foot of snow to parts of Southern Colorado, we've done it again this year!
After light snow fell Monday night and Tuesday morning, a more significant upper-level disturbance brought a much heavier round of snow to Teller County and the southeastern mountains Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
While News5 viewers reported only minor travel disruptions due to slush and snow, the snow really piled up in some neighborhoods. There were also multiple wrecks reported on Wednesday morning in Colorado Springs and Castle Rock, due to rain and wet driving conditions.
Here's a look at some of the snow totals from across Southern Colorado.
Included here is a look at Radar Estimated Snowfall for the past 24 hours, valid from 10:30 am Tuesday (5/19/26) to 10:30 am Wednesday (5/20/26).
Reports in some parts of the state have been limited, so this should help fill the gaps. Confirmed reports were as follows:
* Near Buena Vista: 5.6"
* Westcliffe: 2.0"
* South of the La Veta Pass: 1.5"
* Rye: 1.4"

We asked our viewers for photos this morning on-air and online, and you all have answered the call! Here's a nice variety of photos from the storm from across Southern Colorado from our News5 viewers.
