Overall not a big snow producer, with 12 – 18 inches on The Mountain throughout the period. The cold core of that trough will continue to bring chilly temperatures to our area Thursday, with high temps struggling to reach the upper 20s in Mammoth Lakes. As that trough moves East, shortwave ridging takes it’s place on Friday / Saturday…DMATT
