Saturday brought snow showers and one inch of snow, and temperatures were very cold during the day (but the snow was soft and fun!).

Now on Sunday, it is the start of a two-day period of dry weather, warming temperatures, and sunny skies.

On Sunday, expect sunshine and cold temperatures of around 0°F in the morning, then we will enjoy warming throughout the day and a high temperature in the teens.

On Monday, expect sunshine and somewhat warmer temperatures with a high in the 20s.

The good news (if you like snow) is that the dry weather will only last for two days.

Starting on Tuesday, we'll see snow return, and the snow could fall every day through about Sunday, January 9th. Within that window, the steadiest and most intense snow should fall from sometime Wednesday through sometime on Thursday, and Thursday could be the deepest powder day. There might be another round of steadier or more intense snow on Saturday into Sunday, but I have low confidence about this second round of snow. Total accumulations from Tuesday, January 4 to Sunday, January 9 could be 1-2 feet or more and conditions should be soft and fun for most of this time (though winds could be strong at times, which is the only negative factor).

Starting around Monday, January 10, we should see dry weather, which could last for at least one week, giving us a break in the snow and likely offering some sunnier and calmer days to be on the thill.

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

If you are not an All-Access subscriber, here is an FAQ with more details about the upcoming changes, and we hope that eventually, we'll earn your support. Also, you can watch 2-3 minute videos about these changes made by myself, our Tahoe forecaster BA, and our Utah forecaster Evan. And finally, check out our Utah forecaster Evan's Twitter thread showing exactly how he uses OpenSnow's All-Access features to track powder.
