Winter Weather in Southern Clearwater Mountains, Idaho

Fifteen inches of snow fell at the Mountain Meadows SNOTEL. Six inches of snow accumulated at Lolo Pass, and 3.6 inches fell at Dixie. Downed trees were reported on the way to Red River Hot Springs due to the heavy weight of the snow.

A complex, multi-day winter system brought a sharp divide in impacts across the Northern Rockies. An interesting synoptic pattern set up as an unseasonably cold low pressure parked over the region for several days.
