Heavy Snow in Southern Hills-albion Mountains, Idaho

Heavy Snow March 25, 2023 – March 27, 2023 · Southern Hills-albion Mountains, Idaho

What the National Weather Service wrote

Upwards of 4 feet of snow fell in the Albion Mountains with estimated amounts of 16.4 inches at Bostetter Ranger Station and 42.3 inches at Howell Canyon SNOTEL sites. The heavy snowfall and wind eventually caused an avalanche on the 27th closing Pomerlle Mountain and Howell Canyon Road.

The wider storm

A continual influx of Pacific moisture and colder than normal temperatures brought rounds of very heavy snow, strong winds, avalanches, and road closures throughout southeast Idaho in an extended period. Events were difficult to separate and treated as one continual event.
