Steamboat Daily Snow

Fresh snow
Summary
Snow fell on Friday night, and we'll see more chances for snow through Monday.
Update
Friday was a mostly dry day, then on Friday night, a few intense snow showers hit the mountain. We saw 4-5 inches accumulate at mid-mountain and 5-6 inches at the summit, which is about as well as we could have done from this first round of snowfall.
On Saturday, another round of potentially steady snow could deliver a few inches during the morning and midday, then we should see snow slack off on Saturday afternoon and Saturday night.
On Sunday, yet another round of snow should deliver at least a few inches of accumulation, especially during the midday, afternoon, and evening.
On Monday, there may be lingering snow showers in the morning, then the rest of the day should be drier.
Storm total snowfall from Friday night through Monday morning should wind up being in the 8-16 inch range that we talked about going into this storm.
Tuesday will be dry and a break into between storms.
On Wednesday into Thursday, the next storm will bring snow, and snow totals could be significant with powder possible on Wednesday afternoon and/or Thursday morning. We'll discuss more details about this storm in another day or two when it's just a bit closer.
Thanks for reading and please check back each morning for daily updates!
