A potent winter storm continues to send a stream of Pacific moisture
into Far Western Wyoming. This snowy event is expected to persist
through this afternoon although more showery in nature. The
following are snow totals that have accumulated around the area thus
far.

Observations are collected from a variety of sources with varying
equipment and exposures. We thank all volunteer weather observers
for their dedication. Not all data listed are considered official.

Snotels (Snow Telemetry) are remote sensing sites in the mountain
watersheds.  Snowfall data from SNOTELS are estimated based on snow
water equivalent.
