JACKSON, Wyo. — March came in like a lion with almost six feet of new snow.
According to Bridger-Teton Avalanche Center Forecaster Frank Carus, the valley has received 70 inches of snow fall with 7.5 inches of snow-water equivalent since March 1.
Buckrail photographer Nick Sulzer captured all the snow piling up in town. More than a few vehicles have been buried and rendered useless.
Houses and buildings in town have roof avalanched due to wind, warming temperatures and high-water content snow.
Travel has been a challenge, and the Town’s snow plowers were out in force.
Wildlife has been forced to move down to lower elevations in search of food. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has advised travelers to slow down and be on the lookout for these animals.
Lastly, Buckrail Meteorologist Alan Smith reported that “the massive storm the beginning of March produced 30 inches of snow in 24 hours at Jackson Hole’s Mountain Resort, which was the deepest in-season snow report on record.”
