Buttermilk snow totals

Last 30 days · through the morning of Nov 5

Buttermilk hasn't posted a snow report yet this season (many resorts don't until they open), so these numbers come from the Chapman Tunnel SNOTEL station, a USDA snow gauge 13 miles away at 10,090 ft.

A USDA automated snow gauge, and the station we match to Buttermilk (the nearest one at a similar elevation). It measures snow depth and water at midnight every day of the year; a day's new snow is the rise in depth, counted only when the gauge also caught water (the depth sensor jitters by an inch or so). Settling makes it read a little low in big storms. Station page at NRCS · Buttermilk's station history
