On Friday we saw four additional inches of fluffy snow during the morning and that was on top of the 9 inches of denser snow that fell on Thursday and Thursday night. Friday was a fun day!

On Friday night, snow ramped up and the mid-mountain snow stake shows that there will be at least 5 inches of fresh on Saturday morning.

During the day on Saturday, we should see snow continue on-and-off throughout the day and there could be 4-8 additional inches of dense accumulation. Conditions should stay soft and will get deeper.

On Saturday late afternoon, a cold front will arrive and this could be the focus for a round of intense snow. The turn toward colder air should make the snow fluffier.

On Sunday morning, expect at least a few inches of new, fluffy snow thanks to the cold front on Saturday evening. Weather-wise, Sunday could bring anything from a dusting to a few inches of additional accumulation as well as much colder temperatures with highs in the teens.

Monday and Tuesday will be cold with highs in the single digits to low teens, mostly cloudy skies, and maybe we’ll see a few snow showers.

Our next chance for snow will be from a weak storm around Thursday, December 19 – Friday, December 20.

After that, we’ll have a better chance for a stormier pattern lasting perhaps 3-5 days and starting around Tuesday, December 24th.

Enjoy the storm and the powder!
