Tomer’s Take: The bullseye remains the PNW through 2/13. Then a large storm system (with colder air) sweeps through the Intermountain West on/after 2/14. This storm system develops into an ABQ Low with heavy snow potential for Southern CO and northern NM on 2/15.
Snow continues at Aspen/Snowmass this morning! Highlands is reporting 6″ in 24 hours.
Jackson Hole, WY is reporting 8″ in 24 hours. The storm has cleared. Look at this crystal clear morning over Cody Bowl.
