Heavy snowfall over the last 24 hours has caused a previous snow total record to be broken. A snow total of nine inches has been recorded at KTLO, Classic Hits and The Boot studios, the official reporting station in Mountain Home for the National Weather Service. The previous record set in 1978 was a snow total of three inches.
The snowfall is also one of the heaviest one day totals in Mountain Home history. The nine inches joins March 17, 1970 and March 17, 1988 as the eighth highest daily snowfall recorded in Mountain Home.
The Twin Lakes area has seen heavy wet snow descend on the area as a large system has been moving across the country this week. Clearing conditions will dominate the forecast the rest of the week but cold temperatures could be a factor in how long the snow remains.
Stay tuned to KTLO, Classic Hits and The Boot for updates and a full list of local closings and cancellations.
