The Utah Snow Ensemble is an 82-member ensemble for predicting snow over the contiguous western United States based on the ECMWF ensemble (ENS) and the US National Centers for Environmental Prediction Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS), with 51 members coming from the ENS and 31 from the GEFS. The forecasts are provided in 6-h intervals out to 240 hours (10 days). A summary of the data and methods and graphics is provided below.

Plumes refer to a time series of each model run at a specific loaction, in this case the precipitation forecast for the Storm Peak Lab near the top of Mt. Werner. Generally, mid-mountain snowfall at the Steamboat Ski Area is about 3/4 of the summit snowfall.

Times on the bottom axis are in UTC, or Coordinated Universal Time, which is the time at 0 degrees longitude. It used to be referred to as Zulu time, hence the Z designation in the charts, and does not adhere to daylight savings time, so it is 7 hours ahead of MST (0Z refers to 5pm MST the day before and 12Z refers to 5am) and 6 hours ahead of MDT.
