It’s Sunday morning and it is hard to imagine that a storm is coming because the sky is clear and the temperature is warm, in the low 20s at the base and in the mid-20s at mid-mountain.

However, the storm is coming, although it might arrive a few hours later than I thought yesterday. Expect the cold front to arrive and snow showers to start between about 100 pm and 300 pm with snow continuing through Sunday afternoon, Sunday evening, and Sunday night.

I think we’ll see a quick inch, perhaps two, accumulate on Sunday late afternoon, so expect soft turns during the last few runs on Sunday.

Then after lifts close on Sunday afternoon, we should see snow showers continue through the evening with an additional 2-4 inches of accumulation. Some models show that we could get snow amounts greater than 2-4 inches, so keep your eye on the snow-stake camera at mid-mountain to see if the snow is piling up. For a time on Sunday evening, all factors could come together to create a decent amount of additional snow (jet stream overhead, wind direction from the northwest, wrap-around moisture), so this will be an interesting time with good possibilities, but I hate to overpromise, so just hope for the best and keep your eye on the snow stake cam.

Later on Sunday night, I think temperatures will become too cold for big snow accumulations, so the sweet spot for our chance of more-than-expected snowfall will be on Sunday early evening through about midnight.

On Monday morning, you’ll find soft and untracked powder in the morning (due to the snow that fell on Sunday evening) and dress warmly as we’ll see temperatures in the teens with lingering clouds and snow showers.

From Tuesday through Friday expect dry weather with comfortable temperatures (in the 20s and 30s), and the next chance for snow will be sometime between Friday night and Sunday (March 9-11). After that, the next chance for snow should be around Saturday, March 17.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for an update each morning!
