POCATELLO The calendar flip from December 2020 to January 2021 has come and gone, but the normal December snowpacks never arrived in the Gate City.
Pocatello did get some snow last month. Residents woke up on Dec. 14 to nearly 2 inches of powder, but at no point did the snow get any deeper than that, and much of that snow melted away within days.
