Periods of snow through Tuesday Night
Updated 9 hours ago Joel Gratz
All mountains have seen at least some fresh snow from the storm, which started on Friday afternoon. Additional waves of snow will move through every 12-24 hours from Sunday morning through Tuesday night and most mountains should measure at least 6-12 inches during this time with the potential for 18+ inches of additional snow in the far southern mountains.
