Tomer’s Take Snow continues in MT, ID, WY on 3/8-3/9. Then snow hits UT, CO, NM late 3/8 through early 3/11. High pressure rebuilds briefly. Storm track shifts north 3/13-3/18 into the Pacific Northwest (PNW), British Columbia (B.C.), Banff Area, ID, MT, WY. Feet of snow accumulation likely at Whistler/Blackcomb, Stevens Pass, Mount Baker, Mount […]

Tomer’s Take Next storm system hits MT, ID, WY first then UT, CO, NM between 3/8-3/11. This is a colder, more potent storm system versus the previous two storm systems. High pressure rebuilds across the Intermountain West starting on 3/11. Storm track shifts north into the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, and Banff Area through 3/15. […]

Tomer’s Take Storm #1 was largely a bust for Wyoming and delivered lower end totals to Utah (plus some from storm #2). But, we just didn’t see the big 12”+ totals I was hoping for. Storm system was ultimately too warm and gave up pressure battling initial high pressure. Storm #2 (currently) is a notch […]

Tomer’s Take Storm #1 of 3 now affecting the Intermountain West. This storm cycle runs through 3/11. Storm #1 is the warmest of the three. Storm #2 is a notch colder. Storm #3 is the coldest and most potent. It hits the Intermountain West 3/9-3/11. Beyond 3/11, high pressure rebuilds briefly. Infrared satellite shows the […]

Tomer’s Take 3 different storm systems are lined-up for the West through 3/10. The first storm system is the warmest of the three. The third storm system appears to be the most potent with the coldest air. It occurs 3/9-3/10 across the Intermountain West. Beyond 3/11, high pressure might rebuild. See analysis below. Infrared satellite […]

Tomer’s Take The storm track shifts south on/after 3/4 from the PNW/B.C. into MT, WY, UT, ID, CO, NM. This sets up a 9-day window with 3 different storm systems and major snow grand totals. The first two storm systems are back-to-back 3/4-3/7. The 3rd storm system arrives 3/9-3/10. The first storm system on 3/4-3/5 […]

Tomer’s Take Storm track continues to favor Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, northern Idaho, and northwest Montana through 3/3. Snow levels are running high at times. Yesterday the rain/snow line was around 8,000ft. Today is drops about 1,000 feet and then drops another 1,000 feet on Wednesday. The storm track shifts south after 3/3 and hits […]

Tomer’s Take The jet stream currently favors the Pacific Northwest (PNW), British Columbia, northern Idaho, and northwest Montana through 3/3. This is technically a weak atmospheric river setup. Mount Rainier could see 3-4 feet of snow at/above Muir with 70mph gusts. Snow levels are running high. Up to 8,000ft in some cases. Snow levels will […]

Tomer’s Take Storm track shifts north 2/26-3/2 favoring the Pacific Northwest (PNW), British Columbia (B.C.), northern ID, and northwest MT. Then it gradually shifts south on/after 3/3 to hit the Intermountain West. Said another way, expect a quiet period across the Intermountain West until 3/3 or later. I was out backcountry skiing this morning in […]

Tomer’s Take Heavy snow continues in the Northeast on 2/25. About a foot of accumulation in VT, NH, ME, MA. Small wave of snow races through parts of UT, WY, CO on 2/25 with 1-3 inches of accumulation. Then high pressure rebuilds through 3/1. Storm track shifts north into the PNW, B.C., and eventually ID, […]
