I went into Tuesday night with skepticism as many models showed a lot of snow due to the high amount of incoming moisture, but the wind direction was unfavorable. It turned out that the models won.

Both the mid-mountain and the summit snow stakes show about 9 inches of accumulation as of Wednesday at 5:00 am. The snow is thick/dense due to warmer temperatures, so expect surfy conditions.

On Wednesday, we could see another 4-8 inches of snow, and the snow quality should become a little fluffier throughout the day as temperatures cool.

On Wednesday night, the snow should wane, though we could pick up another few inches of fluffy accumulation.

On Thursday and Thursday night, I think we'll see mostly dry weather as we will be in between storms.

Then from Friday morning through Saturday night, an ill-defined storm with a lot of moisture could deliver 5-10+ inches of snow with possible powder later on Friday and more likely during the day on Saturday.

After that, another storm will bring snow from Sunday through Tuesday morning, and yet another storm will bring snow from January 6 to January 7.

This will be a fun storm cycle and I hope that you'll have the chance to enjoy it!

Thanks for reading!
