Tomer’s Take: A trough of low pressure slides across UT/CO 2/21-2/22 with snow accumulation. Then the pattern shifts 2/25-3/1 with the northern jet branch buckling south into the Lower 48, delivering energy, WNW Flow, and merging at times with the southern jet branch. Big totals likely.

Hi Chris, Burton Kloster from Park City checking in. It has been extremely warm yesterday and temps today should get into the 40s. We have blue sky and light snow falling, but temps now are 35 degrees.. Fingers crossed we get lots of snow, and we may get it at higher elevations, but from where I sit, the snow is melting. Feels like March. Oh well…
Hi Burton! Wasatch snow ends tonight then it’s dry until a major storm system arrives 2/26-2/27 with 1-3 feet. Chris
