Light snow developed during the evening into the overnight hours of January 1 as an upper level wave moved through ahead of an upper level low pressure system that was moving over the Rockies. The snow briefly tapered before the low strengthened over southeast Montana. Heavier snow then developed during the morning of January 2 while the low moved into the Dakotas. The snow then tapered off from west to east late in the evening of January 2 into the early morning hours of January 3. Snow amounts were generally seven to 14 inches.
