The National Weather Service in Riverton has issued preliminary snowfall totals through yesterday evening. These numbers are not final, and final totals are expected to be released in a statement later today.
The NWS says snowfall amounts varied greatly over short distance because of the “convective…showery nature of the snow over the past couple of days.”
Preliminary numbers show that Wamsutter was hit the hardest in Sweetwater County with up to 4 inches of snow. Green River reported between 2 and 4 inches, and Rock Springs reported between 2 and 3 inches.
Other parts of the state were hit harder with up to 11 inches in Teton County and up to 10 inches in Lincoln County.
In addition, the NWS notes that Snotels, or snow telemetry, are remote sensing sites in high mountain watersheds. Data from Snotels are estimated based on the snow water equivalent.
