"WeatherA powerful early-week storm delivers very heavy snowfall to Mt. Etna, then tapers to lighter, higher-quality snow mid to late week as winds ease. Snow levels fluctuate between about 4,400 and 5,900 feet, so lower elevations may see some rain or mixed periods at times, while upper mountain conditions stay wintry with temperatures holding in the upper teens. The core of the storm arrives Monday night through Tuesday night with intense winds and denser snow."
"Monday night through Tuesday night brings the heart of the storm with the biggest accumulation, but also the roughest wind and the least consistent snow quality. Snowfall ramps up quickly Monday night and continues heavy through Tuesday night, with storm totals by that point already in the 51″-66″ range. Snow levels run roughly 4,400-4,900 feet early, rising toward about 4,900 feet Tuesday night, so anything below those elevations will be most vulnerable to wetter snow or mixed precipitation while higher terrain piles up snow."
