Estimated from the two verified stations

How the village estimate works: there's no sensor in the village itself, so we interpolate by elevation — Duck Creek Village at 8,400 ft sits about 30% of the climb from Harris Flat up to Midway Valley, and the two verified readings bracket the estimate. About the temperature: it's the most recent reading the station sensor has published, taken at the time shown — the feed can run several hours behind, and mountain temps swing widely between night and afternoon, so treat it as a reference point, not a live thermometer. Snow-water equivalent is how much liquid water the snowpack holds — the metric hydrologists track, and the one with records back to 1979. Snow depth sensors were added later (Midway Valley 1996, Harris Flat 2003).

Winter 2025–26 vs Winter 2024–25

Snow seasons run October through spring, so we compare by water year (October 1 – September 30) — a winter is never split across the calendar change.

Duck Creek Village (8,400 ft, estimated by elevation between the stations): peak 2025–26 ~37" vs ~31" last winter.

"New snow" sums each day’s settled-depth increase at the sensor across the season — a conservative snowfall total. Winter 2025–26 figures update live through the season; the village line is an estimate from the two verified stations.

Snow in Zion, Bryce Canyon & Cedar Breaks — how our snow compares

Zion

Zion Canyon sits near 4,000 ft — when Duck Creek is buried at 8,400 ft, Zion is usually just wet. Snow there is rare and melts fast, though the east-side road from our direction can hold icy patches in the mornings.

Bryce Canyon

Bryce Canyon's rim runs 8,000–9,100 ft, so its snow tracks ours closely. If our snow report shows fresh depth, expect the hoodoos dusted white and the rim trails packed — one of the best winter sights in Utah.

Cedar Breaks

Cedar Breaks sits above 10,000 ft and out-snows everyone. The amphitheater is spectacular under snow, but SR-148 closes for the season each winter — snowmobiles and skis only until late spring.

Where this data comes from

These numbers are pulled daily from two USDA NRCS SNOTEL stations minutes from the village — Midway Valley #626 above town and Harris Flat #514 below it. We’re 9–11 minutes from both. The live readings refresh from NRCS each day; the history goes back to 1979.

Duck Creek Village snow questions

What travelers ask before a winter trip.

When does it start snowing in Duck Creek Village?

Measurable snow usually first sticks around October 15 at 9,830 ft (Midway Valley) and November 16 lower down at 7,800 ft (Harris Flat). The village at 8,400 ft falls between the two.

How much snow does Duck Creek Village get?

It varies a lot with elevation. In a typical March, Midway Valley (9,830 ft) holds around 64" while Harris Flat (7,800 ft) is nearer 14" — interpolating by elevation, that puts the village around an estimated ~~29". The deepest single day on record up high was 166" on March 25, 2005.

How do you estimate snow at the village itself?

There's no snow sensor in the village, so we interpolate between the two verified stations that bracket it: Duck Creek Village at 8,400 ft sits about 30% of the elevation gain from Harris Flat (7,800 ft) up to Midway Valley (9,830 ft). The estimate is always shown alongside the two real readings, which act as hard upper and lower bounds. Treat it as a guide — aspect, wind, and shade move real-world depth around.

Is there snow for snowmobiling right now?

Check the live readings at the top of this page. Snowmobiling needs a solid base, which up high at Midway Valley usually holds from December into April; lower elevations are more variable. Groomed routes open once conditions allow.

Do I need 4WD to reach Duck Creek Village in winter?

Highway 14 is plowed and maintained, but mountain storms can move fast. In snow season, check current road conditions before the climb from Cedar City, carry chains, and give yourself extra time.
