The Tony Grove Snotel at 8400' reports 6 inches of total snow containing only 32% of average Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) for the date. South winds increased overnight at the CSI Logan Peak weather station and are blowing 30 mph with gusts near 50 mph this morning. Shallow snow cover exists in shady terrain at upper elevations, but there is not enough to ski or ride on. A potent Pacific storm will bring significant snowfall to northern Utah over the Thanksgiving weekend. The first wave of storminess will impact the area today, as a weakening, moist and mild trough crosses the zone. Snow will fall in the mountains and perhaps down in Cache Valley as well, although the rain/snow line may remain around the benches. Expect increasing snowfall intensity this afternoon and several inches of accumulation on upper elevation slopes. A short-lived break in the storm is likely tonight, but warm advection will get snowfall rolling again on Friday. A colder, windy trough will move over the zone late Friday, lasting into Saturday and bringing significant snow accumulations to the mountains and some snow down to the valley floor. Two or three feet of new snow is possible on upper elevation slopes by Sunday
