Here's a quick look at the snow totals from our latest storm! The storm system behaved pretty much as expected with many of the Palmer Divide locations ending up within or very close to our forecast range. Hope everyone had a safe night, was able to get off the roads before things got nasty and stayed warm!

Overall a pretty good forecast for a very tricky storm! Look for clearing conditions on Saturday with a bunch of quieter weather days ahead for this week. Temperatures will warm up and hopefully we can get rid of some of the snowpack still hanging around on the higher elevations of the Palmer Divide.
Cheers everyone, have a great weekend!
