What the National Weather Service wrote

A spotter reported 5 inches of new snow at the highest elevations along Grangemont Road in Clearwater County, ID. Two cars had to be pulled from ditches during this spotter's commute.

The wider storm

A moist air mass combined with a surface low pressure system to the south of the Grangeville area helped create a northerly, upslope flow pattern, which is favorable for heavy snow on the southern side of the Camas Prairie. Grangeville and Kooskia saw impressive snow fall totals in the 9 to 14 inch range over the course of 24 hours.
