Storm brings 5-8 inches new snow
White Pine got 5 inches, Wyoming Range 8 inches
December 29, 2005

The latest storm brought another round of fresh snow to the mountains of western Wyoming. The Blind Bull SNOTEL in the Wyoming Range registered 8 inches of new snow over the past 24 hours. For a change, the Farson and Big Sandy area got a bit more snow, reporting 7 inches new. Other areas of western Wyoming reported receiving from 2-10 inches of new snow, with more expected through the morning.

White Pine Ski Area reported 5 inches of new snow overnight to Thursday morning. That gives them a 34 inch base of powder and packed powder for skiers and snowboarders. The ski area is looking forward to this Saturday’s New Year’s Eve Torchlight Parade, a night-time line ski down the mountain to bring in the new year.

The National Weather Service has issued a Snow Advisory for the Bighorn Mountains for Thursday morning. Snow is expected to continue throughout the morning hours, along with winds gusting to as much as 55 mph. Blowing and drifting snow will significantly reduce visibility and create hazardous driving conditions, especially over mountain passes. Travelers in central and western Wyoming should expect slick roads. Conditions are expected to improve by the afternoon hours.

More rounds of snow are forecast into early next week. The best chance for more accumulating snowfall is Saturday and Saturday night, and again on Monday and Monday night.
