WORLAND - The National Weather Service Field Office in Riverton recorded one report of 10 inches in Worland for the Christmas Day storm that hit the state.

The nearly a foot of snow did not produce a lot of moisture, however, with the NWS Climate Data Center reporting .12 inches of moisture for Christmas Day. Normal precipitation for Christmas Day is .01 inches with a record of .25 inches in 2014.

To date, Worland has received .19 inches of moisture, which is right at the average for December for Worland. Moisture for the year, however, is well above average at 9.94 inches. The average precipitation is 7.53 inches.

City of Worland Public Works Superintendent Brian Burky said some crews were plowing Christmas Day and then began the bulk of the plowing at 5 a.m. Monday to clear the main streets. He said one of his employees measured eight inches but it was still snowing at the time so he estimates Worland received 8-10 inches.

Big Horn Avenue, Railway Avenue from Big Horn to Washakie, Big Horn Avenue, 10th Street from Big Horn Avenue north and 15th Street from Big Horn to Washakie are considered priority level 1. Burky said in an earlier interview, "We're obligated to do the highway through town first. After that we're definitely trying to keep things cleared to the hospital and schools."

He added that the city has an agreement with Washakie County for the county to handle Washakie Avenue, which is an important road. "We have a good capacity to do snow plow work but certainly not excessive, so Washakie was lower on our list of priorities and the county crews travel that road. The commissioners were good enough to sign a maintenance agreement with us where their plows take care of that and we fund them to do that."

Burky said store owners along 10th and Big Horn are asked if shoveling sidewalks to pile the snow in a parking lot or throw it as far as they can into the street for the plows to pick up.

He said having huge piles along the sides of the streets adds a lot of work to crews already busy trying to clear streets.

The NWS reported 6.3 inches around Thermopolis.

The Tetons and areas west of the Continental Divide received the most snow during the storm, with upwards of 15 inches, according to the NWS office in Riverton.

The city of Riverton, the NWS office reported, received record snowfall for Christmas Day, 6.8 inches.

Wind and snow coming

Forecaster Paul Skrbac said the Big Horn Basin will be facing wind today (Tuesday) with higher winds expected in the Cody Foothills. He said the southern portion of the Big Horn Basin, including Worland, would see some wind as well.

Later in the week, Skrbac said, the NWS is tracking two fronts coming from the north, one to potentially hit Wyoming Friday and the other on New Year's Day into Monday, Jan. 2.

He said the storms are too far out at this time to predict how much snow could fall.
