What the National Weather Service wrote

Area Snotels received 14 to 16 inches of snow.

The wider storm

A slow moving upper low over Wyoming brought a deep upslope flow to the Big Horn Mountains. The dynamics were quite strong with this low as it created its own cold pool which helped provide heavy snow to portions of the lower elevations as well, mainly the Sheridan foothills locations.
