We all woke up to rain outside Wednesday morning as widespread moisture rotates around a low pressure center in Idaho. While we've had significant rain in the valley, rain transitioned over to snow overnight at Bogus Basin.

The snow stake at Bogus Basin shows several inches this morning with a blanket of white across the base area. A weather station near the Nordic Center reports one inch of precipitation in the past 24 hours. That would've equated to about a foot of fresh snow in winter months.

Significant rainfall amounts have been reported across the Treasure Valley. With moderate showers overnight, some areas have seen well over an inch of precipitation in the past 24-hours. The most rain in the valley has been reported by a weather station at Boise State University, 1.33" had been reported as of 7:45 am. Light to moderate rain is expected to continue this morning into the afternoon and so we'll continue to add to these totals.
