Kayla Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Ended up with a fluffy 3" of snow here last night. Already down to 11F but clouds are on the increase once again so I doubt we get much below the upper single digits. Looking like another 2-4" tomorrow with highs in the teens so a chilly day. Strong cold is still on tap for Sunday with accumulating snowfall and the coldest temps of the season. Feels like winter has really settled in here now.

Front Ranger Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Managed a skiff of snow from a brief, moderate snow shower this evening.

gardenmom Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Enough snow last night to cover the driveway and add a little to what fell Christmas Day and Wednesday. It's trying to snow now but just seems to be spitting now and again. Tomorrow ought to be interesting when the snow starts blowing everywhere.

Black Hole Posted December 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Winter weather advisory for 1-3" tomorrow, which I think I agree with. Might be 2-4" further south in central Utah.

Kayla Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Ended up with 14" of snowfall yesterday. Looks like about 8-12" in town. Tied for my biggest single day storm since we moved here. Still amazed at how horrible the models can be for Bozeman. The NWS was only calling for 1-3" of snow yesterday. Huge bust. About 18" of settled snow base out there currently.

Scott Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 The overnight low in the town we moved from about a month ago was -18 at the official weather station. That's means it almost surly was in the -20's at the old house. Here in Grand Junction, the overnight low was a balmy +10F. I'll miss the cool nights in summer, but in a lot of ways it is nice to have mild winters. Grand Junction only drops below zero and average of five days a year. At our old house, I recorded an average of 61 days a year where it dropped below zero. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
