Sunday was mostly sunny and dry, then on Sunday night, we were expecting a weak storm to bring light snow.

Instead, we saw a surprisingly high amount of snow (compared to low-end expectations) with about 4 inches on the mid-mountain snow stake as of Monday at sunrise.

The timing of these four inches is a wonderful gift as Monday (Nov 14) is the opening day of the season!

On Monday, the new snow from Sunday night will soften up the limited open terrain, temperatures will be chilly with highs in the teens, and we'll see a mix of dry weather, clouds, and some snow showers.

For the rest of the week, temperatures will continue to be chilly with highs in the teens and we'll see a few more times of light snow. 

The next round of light snow will be on Monday evening into Tuesday with a few inches of accumulation.

Then another round of light snow will fall from Thursday midday through Friday, and again, this storm should deliver a few inches of accumulation.

The timing of these weak storms should translate to slightly softer turns on Tuesday morning and Friday morning.

Looking further ahead, Saturday should be dry and chilly, Sunday to Tuesday (Nov 20-22) should be dry and warmer, then we could see a chance for at least light snow around Wednesday, Nov 23.

Thanks for reading!
