A snowfall recap through this morning for total event snow(minimal may yet occur)

Bittinger 2nw Valley 2.3″

Accident 3.9e 2.1″

Mt. Lake Park 1.5″

Canaan Heights/Davis 3SE 5.3″

Snowshoe 4.0″ from the coop observer, the resort reports 5.5″

Overall totals for this event were in the low end range of expectations.

Going forward…

This morning’s fine light snow may end as a touch of freezing mist/drizzle today. Not a big deal, but as always, be alert if that occurs.

A little snow activity may pass through tomorrow morning, this looks very light. The better wave pushes through late day into the overnight hours. This one looks to be a general 2-4″ (again lean low to mid totals,,if it performs well, high mark may be reached). There should be though pops of 4″+ with this. If a few pockets picked up 5, 6″ that would not be surprising. That ends during the day Thursday.

6z ECMWF

Snowfall amounts off the model – a minimal portion of this total is from now until tomorrow morning. Primarily late tomorrow into Thursday

6z GFS

Snowfall amounts off the model. Again, the same as above. A minimal amount is from ow until tomorrow morning. Primarily late tomorrow into Thursday.
