What the National Weather Service wrote

Heavy snow fell though much of Yellowstone Park. The highest amount was 31 inches in the southwestern mountains of the park. Amounts were generally 12 to 18 inches in northern portions of the park.

The wider storm

A slow moving trough combined with a potent atmospheric river to bring heavy snow to western Wyoming. The highest amounts fell in the Tetons where amounts over 2 feet were common. The highest amount was 43 inches at the Jackson Hole Ski Resort. Amounts over 18 inches also fell in Yellowstone Park, the Salt and Wyoming Range and the Wind River Range. In the lower elevations, the highest snow totals were in the Jackson Valley where amounts of 1 to 2 feet fell. High wind occurred in the wind prone areas ahead of a frontal passage, with wind gusts around 60 mph in the lower elevations of Sweetwater and Natrona Counties.
