Weather Story

Season-to-date snow totals remain well below average across the entire area. Both Cheyenne and Scottbluff have received barely one quarter of their average snowfall so far this season. In the mountains, while the Sierra Madre and Snowy Ranges have made up some ground since record lows at the beginning of December, snowpack remains below average. Even lower snowpack (near record lows) is present in northern Colorado, which runs off into the North Platte and Laramie Rivers every spring. Snowpack in the Laramie range remains at record lows for early January.
