Storm brings snow to western Wyoming
Sublette County gets 1-8 inches of snow in the mountains
June 12, 2008
Editor’s Note: Yesterday’s storm brought one to eight inches of new snow to the mountains around Pinedale. The valley saw rain, wind and sputtering snow, but nothing that stuck to the ground. The White Pine webcam still shows some snow at the top of the mountain today (Thursday). The Big Sandy Opening SNOTEL, located at 9,080 feet, appears to be reading no snow. (Other area SNOTELS) The weekend weather forecast is for sunny with highs climbing into the 60s and 70s! (Weather)
