The storm hit Thursday December 6th and snow fell steadily through Saturday. On Friday, people experienced power outages and in some places were without water. The Gunnison County Electric said that as the heavy snow falls off the power lines (in areas near here) it causes arcing and the power goes out then comes back on. Late Friday afternoon the power was out for several hours on into the evening, and residents had to break out the candles to light their homes. Arrowhead received approx.20 to 24 inches of new snow in various areas.
