Heavy Snow May 20, 2022 – May 22, 2022 · Southern Sangre De Cristo Mountains Between 7500 & 11000 Ft, Colorado

What the National Weather Service wrote

Heavy snow of 16.0 inches. 5 north northeast Spanish Peaks.

The wider storm

A large upper level system moved across the region through the period, and brought very beneficial moisture to portions of south central and southeast Colorado in the form of rain and heavy snow. The heaviest snow, of one to two feet, fell over and near the Pikes Peak region and southern mountains. While the moisture was beneficial, this heavy wet snow did cause significant tree damage across the area.
