Most of the snow is getting shunted up into the Pacific NW…as well as some of the Eastern Rockies (Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho)…check out the NWS chart.
You can see a little bit of snow around Colorado…but the most intense storms we are going to see this week are stuck around Washington and Oregon. Really only the higher elevation spots are going to see real snowfall…the lower resorts are going to have more slush and rain.
Over the next few days we are going to see the low that is setting up snow for the Pacific NW slowly move over the mountain states…getting a couple of inches of new snow for those areas…but not a really significant amount. Basically we can expect a rather intense…sort of wet storm, typical of the Pacific NW, moving through the region and then drying out as it hits the rockies. Eventually the remnants of the storm move off to the east but it acts as more of a rain/thunderstorm generator than a snow maker.
Long-range is looking a bit sparse right now…there are a couple of lows still roaming through the Gulf of Alaska but most of those are going to blow themselves out before hitting land…either that or give a couple inches of snow to the moose and grizzly bears way up north in Canada rather than any spots in the US. Look for snowfall to get more and more rare as we move through the end of the month.
