On Wednesday, we saw a mixture of snow showers and breaks of sunshine. Snowfall during the day amounted to about 1 inch at mid-mountain and 3 inches at the summit.

On Wednesday night, the skies partially cleared and the snow fully stopped.

On Thursday, we will see dry weather and maybe some sunshine, with dry weather extending into Thursday night.

Then the next storm will bring snow from Friday late morning through Saturday morning. I'll stick with my initial estimate of 5-10 inches of accumulation. Based on the timing of the storm, there is a low-ish chance for powder by Friday's last chair and a higher chance for powder on Saturday morning's first chair.

Following that storm, we should see dry weather from Saturday midday through Sunday, maybe a few snow showers on Monday, a more significant storm around January 11-12, then a stormy period should set up over the western U.S. and the Rockies beginning around January 15-16.
