A major change in the weather pattern brought much cooler and damper conditions to western Colorado compared to the previous month. A number of storm systems brought significant precipitation to western Colorado with large amounts of snow accumulating across much of the mountains during the month. However, due to the protracted nature of the drought conditions, severe to extreme drought prevailed across western Colorado, except for minor relief across a portion of  northwest Colorado where drought conditions decreased from severe to moderate. See the December 2003 Storm Data publication for a continuation on this drought situation.
