The prolonged ridge of high pressure (aka the "Dylan Ridge") continued through the weekend of March 18/19 with breezy conditions ahead of a week system that produced a few mountain rain showers and a trace of graupel on Monday. Skies cleared somewhat later Tuesday, and Wednesday brought a warm, moist storm system that deposited up to 5" of dense graupel, with 20% density. The rain/snow line was above 9500'

During this past week, many mountain locations maintained above freezing temperatures for well over a week.

On Thursday a moist storm system arrived, bringing the first legitimate storm snow since March 6. The high rain/snow line from Wednesday dropped down to the benches by mid-day Thursday.

Wednesday/Thursday snow/water amounts include:
