This study investigates the performance of both the Nested Grid Model (NGM) and Colorado State University's Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) for the 29-30 March 1991 Front Range storm. Through this investigation, a better understanding of both models efficiency and limitations can be assessed as they simulate the multicomponent nature of winter storms in Colorado's mountainous terrain.
