Another 6″ is currently forecasted for elevations above 8,000k. Big takeaway– we need colder temps to really get this winter thing going in the western USA.
If the snow keeps up, the Tetons could see close to 13″ by Tuesday.
The higher elevations of Grand Targhee are currently favored to receive the most snowfall. Rendezvous Mountain is getting its fair share of snow today into tomorrow but slightly warmer temps on the eastside are keeping snow levels slightly lower.
- Jackson Hole is currently reporting 7″ in the last 24 hours.
