Periods of snow through Tuesday Night
Updated 10 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.
