Weather and Snow
Yesterday's little weather disturbance produced about 3" of new snow by mid afternoon. I was really not expecting any measurable snow from that system but I'm happy for the little bonus! Another inch fell overnight.
Another round of snow is expected today in warm air advection. Rain/Snow levels will be around 6000 feet. Cold air advection starts tonight and should last through Friday bringing more snow. One last shot of snow should occur on Sunday.
We should see total snow amounts of 10 to 20" by late Sunday.
