Winter Park Daily Snow

Powder on Thursday
Summary
Thursday will be a fun day with powder in the morning thanks to the snow that fell on Wednesday night.
Update
We went into Wednesday night's storm looking for 4-10+ inches and we came out on the high side of the range with 10 inches of snow falling between Wednesday evening and Thursday morning (there was about 1 additional inch that accumulated right before the snow stake was cleared on Wednesday afternoon).
These 10 inches of snow that fell on Wednesday night will make Thursday morning's first chair super fun - enjoy it!
During the day on Thursday, we'll see a mix of snow showers, some times of dry weather, and maybe some breaks of sunshine as well. If we're lucky (as we were on Wednesday night), we could see at least another few inches of accumulation during the day on Thursday. High temperatures should be in the teens.
On Friday and Saturday, expect dry weather with highs in the 20s on Friday, and warmer temperatures rising into the 30s on Saturday.
On Sunday, we'll see dry weather for most of the day with highs in the 30s, then a storm will bring a chance for snow from Sunday night through Tuesday. The latest forecast data shows that this storm will track a bit too far to the south and east to bring us the most snow, but the storm should still be close enough to bring us significant snow with powder possible on Monday and Tuesday.
After that, we'll likely have dry weather from about March 23-27, with another storm arriving sometime between about March 28-31.
Thanks for reading and please check back each morning for daily updates!
