Winter Weather in Eastern Uinta Mountains, Utah

Generally 4 to 6 inches of snow fell across the area with locally higher amounts of up to 15 inches at Hickerson Park, which is favored in northeast flow.

A deep closed low moved through Eastern Utah and settled south of the Four Corners region where it stalled and became cut off. This resulted in abundant Pacific moisture circulating around the low pressure system and very heavy snowfall for the Eastern Utah and Southwest Colorado Mountains. The Abajo Mountains of Southeast Utah and San Juan Mountains of Southwest Colorado received the most snowfall due to the stalled nature of the low where 2 to 3 feet of snow fell. Warmer temperatures also resulted in higher snow levels and limited snow accumulation in the valleys.
