Quick Strike Storm System Inbound 2/26-2/27

Tomer’s Take: A windy, robust quick strike storm system hits UT/WY/CO afternoon 2/26 through 2/27 with 9-18 inches. I trimmed some totals down another 20%. Storm #2 arrives 2/29-3/4 with heavy snow accumulation across most of the West. This is a bigger storm system.

Current Setup
