Wyoming SnowPack/Water Supply Outlook
Here is the first Wyoming Water Supply Outlook for this Water Year. Note that the conditions are best in Western Wyoming(Star Valley region), where snowpack is near normal. However the current dry pattern is cutting into the favorable beginning of the Winter Snow Season.
Initial Wyoming Water Supply Outlook---issued January 15, 2013
...Current water year precipitation is averaging nearly 85 percent of normal across Wyoming…
…Mountain snowpack across Wyoming is 80 to 85 percent of average...
…Above normal streamflow volumes are expected across northwestern Wyoming watersheds...
…Wyoming reservoir storages are near average for January…
Current water year precipitation across Wyoming is nearly 85 percent of average. Precipitation numbers vary between 117 percent of normal over the Upper Yellowstone Basin to 54 percent of normal over the Belle Fourche Drainage.
Above normal (100 to 115
percent) snowmelt streamflow volumes are expected across major basins
across northwestern Wyoming---which includes the Upper Yellowstone, the
Snake, and the Shoshone Watersheds.
Reservoirs storages across Wyoming are near average for January.

Cold!!
Clouds cleared overnight allowing temperatures across Star Valley to plummet. Here is a list of recorded minimums this Sunday morning.
Thayne ES -22
Double L Ranch (4 NW of Etna) -20
Osmond ES -17
Smoot -17
Etna ES -16
2 NE Etna -16

Star Valley Ranch -10
Other nearby locations
West Yellowstone MT -38
Yellowstone Lake WY -36
Driggs ID -28
Bondurant -28
Farson -25
Box Y Ranch -25
The very cold upper trough will remain over the area through Monday, with another possibly colder night on tap for Western Wyoming. If skies remain generally clear, conditions will be favorable for minimums to be another 5 degrees colder Monday morning.
High pressure will dominate much of the west through the coming week, so little additional snow is expected until at least next weekend across Star Valley. Nights will continue below zero, with a slow daytime warming trend after Monday.

Snow Results
 |
| Star Valley Ranch Friday Afternoon |
The storm so far has resulted in from 1-6 inches of new snow across Star Valley. While flurries could produce another inch of two by Saturday morning, cold is going to be the main story over the weekend. Temperatures will be dropping well below zero by Saturday night, and only rise into the single digits during the afternoons. The typically coldest valley locations could dip below 20 below again as happened a couple weeks ago. The cloud cover will provide some insulation tonight, but less likely the next couple nights.
