Saturday was a tough day with wind gusts of 60+ mph and no new snow.

Saturday night was in line with what we want to see as snow fell all night resulting in about 5 inches of accumulation at mid-mountain.

Sunday will start with more powder than what you see on the snow stake cam because more snow will accumulate between 5 am and first chair. And we should see snow for a lot of the day with another 4-8+ inches of accumulation. Temperatures will be comfortable with readings in the teens.

Sunday night should bring more snow, though we might see lulls in the snow now and again. Additional accumulations could be in the 3-6+ inch range.

Monday will likely start with soft/powder conditions and perhaps a lull in the snow (low confidence). Then I think that snowfall will ramp up through midday and afternoon with another 3-6+ inches of accumulation. Last chair could offer sneaky deep conditions. Temperatures will cool into the low single digits by the late afternoon into the evening.

Tuesday morning could be fresh and fluffy if at least some snow hangs around and accumulates on Monday evening. Otherwise, Tuesday will offer a short break in the snowfall with dry weather, partly sunny skies, and temperatures rising into the teens by the afternoon.

The next storm will deliver snow from Wednesday midday through Thursday midday, and accumulations could be 3-6+ inches with the best powder on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning through midday.

The longer-range forecast then transitions to drier weather and high temperatures in the 20s from Friday, January 19 through about Monday, January 22. More snow will be possible around January 23-25.
