From the Steamboat Pilot & Today (Tom Ross):
Remote snow-sensing devices show that the depth at the Zirkel Snotel site on the east side of the Continental Divide increased from 1 inch on Oct. 8 to 20 inches as of mid-morning Monday. Closer to Steamboat, at the Tower Snotel site on Buffalo Pass, snow depth increased from 7 inches on Oct. 8 to 16 inches early Monday…Snow accumulation on Rabbit Ears Pass is less dramatic, with 3 inches at the West Summit and 1 inch at the Columbine site on the east side of the pass.
