From the Valley Courier (Lauren Krizansky):
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas instead of Thanksgiving.
…a snowstorm left the Valley under 13.2 inches of snow, according to National Weather Service (NWS) reports. The three-day event dropped 42 inches at Wolf Creek, making Monday a pristine day to hit the slopes under the sunshine. The ski resort has a total of 105 inches.
The storm kicked off on Friday, sending 7 inches down, according to NWS reports. On Saturday, it slowed, leaving only .4 inches on the ground before another 5.8 inches fell Sunday night. This the most snow the Valley has seen in November since 1964 when the month’s total was 13.6 inches, according to historical weather data. The most snow ever seen in the eleventh month was in 1972 when 19.8 inches covered the ground, and in 1957 16.5 inches were recorded. Sunny skies and cooler temperatures are in store for the holiday, according for NWS reports. Monday night temperatures were forecasted to drop to 1 degree F, and today should reach 32 degrees F with a low of 6 degrees F. The rest of the week should bring highs in the mid-40 s and lows around 11 and 12 degrees F, which are considered average temperatures for the time of the season.
