Heads up, there may be fresher snow! Read the latest Winter Park Daily Snow

Snow on Friday and Friday night at Winter Park

Summary

Thursday was soft and powdery, and additional snow will continue through Friday night.

Short Term Forecast

Thursday was a powder morning and we did see light snow showers throughout the day with just minimal accumulations.

On Thursday night, snowfall ramped up with an overnight total of 4 inches.

Now on Friday, the snow will continue throughout the day, it will last through late Friday night, and then snow will wind down by Saturday at sunrise. During this time on Friday and Friday night, we could measure 5-10 inches accumulation (maybe much more if we’re lucky and northwest flow delivers) and the powder on Friday and also Saturday morning should be fun.

On Saturday, we’ll likely see a break in the snow, though on Saturday night another round of snow showers could return with another few inches of accumulation.

On Sunday, we will end the weekend with a mix of sunshine and snow showers and very soft conditions thanks to the consistent snowfall from the previous 3-4 days.

Extended Forecast

There will be two chances for snow during the week and weekend of February 8-14.

The first chance for snow will be between Tuesday and Thursday, February 9-11.

The second chance for snow will be between Friday and Sunday, February 12-14.

That’s as many details as I can offer right now and we’ll dial in this nebulous forecast over the next few days.

Thanks for reading and check back each morning for daily updates!
