Reloading the Storm Track

We have already been seeing a pretty good winter season for most of the country…it has been a little dry in Colorado but most of Western Rockies, the Pacific NW, and all of California have been seeing some heavy snowfall for the last couple of weeks. So heavy in fact that there has been some pretty heavy and deadly avalanche action. Check out this story from Alison Berkley…she has a ton of the details on just how dangerous this season has been.

Avalanche Danger Hits Resorts Throughout West

Over on the East Coast there has been some consistent snowfall around the Great Lakes and over into the Northeast…not as consistent as the stuff out west but still healthy at times.

The current forecast is looking really good for winter weather. We have a string of storms moving in from the North Pacific that are stretching “out the back” and over to the Aleutians that are going to pile on the snow across Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia. Eventually these storms are going to push across the northern half of the US and dump more powder over Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Utah throughout the early part of the week.



These storms do make it across the US later in the week and should have more snow, and some really wild weather stretching snowfall across the NE states and some severe weather.

Check out the storms stacking up out the back



Like I said it looks like the majority of the new snow over the next couple of days is going to hit in Washington, which is going to see 1.5 to 2 feet of new snow over the next 48 hours.

Crystal Mountain - 20-25"
Timberline - 15-20"

Oregon is going to be close behind with nearly a 1-foot+ of pow-pow.

Mt Bachelor - 10-15"

Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Montana get a little less over the next two days but should see more later in the week as well. Here is the next 2 days.

Sun Valley - 6-8"
Big Sky - 5-7"
Alta - 3-5"
Solitude - 3-5"
Jackson Hole - 3-5"

Long-range…with all those storms stacking up in the North Pacific it looks like we have a long storm train moving through the higher latitudes of the US. We can expect some steady cold temps and consistent snow/ice/rain for most of the northern US and Canada resorts for at least the next week but likely through the upcoming weekend and into next week. Looks like a lot of fresh tracks!

Check back my next update will be next Monday!
