GREEN RIVER - Hey, what happened to all that snow that was forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday in Wyoming?

The storm front stalled, the winds didn't converge, and it got just too darn cold to snow, the weatherman said Wednesday.

So instead, Wyoming's expected snowstorm socked Colorado with up to 18 inches and dumped nearly a foot of snow along the Wasatch Front in Utah.

Maybe next week, said Dave Lipson with the National Weather Service in Riverton.

The expected accumulations of 3 to 9 inches of snow forecast along western Wyoming didn't materialize, Lipson said. Instead, areas such as Jackson and Rock Springs received just an inch or two of the white stuff.

"We did have the front come through as expected, but the snow advisory was based on the idea that the front would stall in southwest Wyoming and we would get a lot of converging winds on the front," he said. "But what evidently happened (Tuesday) was the piling up of the air combined with the lift and clouds all converging didn't materialize… We didn't get the snow that we thought we would get."

The result was cold, near-record winter temperatures in much of Wyoming Wednesday, he said.

Farson in north Sweetwater County and Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park recorded minus 22 degrees Wednesday morning. Other cold spots included minus 31 in Bondurant in Sublette County, and minus 27 at Hoback Junction. Cody just missed tying its cold record by one degree, posting minus 7.

Lipson said this morning should be even colder across Wyoming, and today should be the coldest day of the week. The state may see a few snow showers Friday and early Saturday as a fast-moving system drops another front in Wyoming, he said.
