The Tony Grove Snotel at 8400' reports 6 inches of total snow containing only 32% of average Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) for the date. 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 tomorrow, 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. A short-lived break in the storm is likely Thursday night, 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 potentially significant snow accumulations to the mountains and some snow down to the valley floor.
The shallow snow that remains on north facing slopes at upper elevations is plagued by loose, sugary faceted snow.
Looking northwest across Beginner Bowl at the Naomi Peak area west of Tony Grove Lake. The weak snow is shallow at upper and mid elevations in the Logan Zone. A strong Pacific storm will bring significant accumulating snow over the Thanksgiving weekend.
