Snow forecast through 4/16

Tomer’s Take: After an active snow period the Western pattern is shifting. The jet moves north through 4/16 and favors the PNW, BC, and Northern Tier. There is one cut-off low on/after 4/12 that might spread moderate to heavy snow into UT and CO 4/13-4/15.

Programming Note: I’ll start switching over to Spring/Summer forecasting soon with less emphasis on Skiing.
