I had heard if Rodgers pass is getting snow then quarts is? Well if that's true quarts should be getting some good snow now from what the highway cam is showing!

Not quite, If is, it will usually be less. Depends on the direction of the storm and the intensity. Usually if its puking on the pass, it is snowing lighter on the east side of the tunnels. Usually colder and drier pow though.

From what I understand is storms going over the pass usually end up dumping in Silent Pass.

They also have the bragging rights. Hence the no comments or pics as they are keeping it to themselves.
