Thanksgiving Update: Snow through 12/2

Tomer’s Take: A Canadian cold front is diving south through WY into UT, CO and NM 11/23-11/25. Forecast snow totals are down slightly (-15%), but snow ratios remain high with much colder air. Then it’s a drier stretch with high pressure ridging 11/26-11/30. Pattern might turn stormier after 12/1 as jet resets.
