Warming up a bit

After a couple of strong weeks of snowfall it looks like we are going to see some sunnier skies and a little warmer weather that may let us enjoy all the new snow.

There is a rather dry and chilly, cold-front moving through the middle of the US and over the great lakes that will put a couple of inches of new snow around the Great Lakes and over the NE…mostly through Michigan, Vermont, and New Hampshire…but that is going to be most of the new powder that we see this week.

Look for most of the higher elevation Michigan resorts to see another 4-6” of new snow over the next 48-72 hours. The NE spots will be closer to 2-4” except in those Lake-Effect affected areas.

The majority of our weather is going to be driven by a large ridge of high-pressure that going stack up most of the US West Coast and most of the Southern/Central Rockies. This will shut down a lot of the storm track for the Western Ski resorts but may allow a couple of weak cold fronts to move out of Canada, brining mostly wind…but a little snow as well, to Montana and the Dakotas.



At this point I am not expecting any significant snowfall for the next several days…but since we already have plenty of snow it will be good to get some nicer conditions in order to enjoy what has already piled up.

The Long-range forecast is also looking pretty quiet…that high-pressure is expected to stick around for most of the week and that is going to be a massive obstacle to new storms. Don’t look for this high to move out this week…we might see it start to break down about midweek next week. I guess that we are just going to have to enjoy the sun.

Have a good one!
