This Week: Big Totals and Cold

Tomer’s Take

  • Two-storm combo and Arctic blast for parts of the West.
  • Lull in the snowfall between storm #1 and storm #2.
  • Arctic air plunges south.
  • Biggest totals in Colorado over a 3.5-day period. Western Slope and Southern Mountains get 2-3 feet favoring Aspen/Snowmass, Crested Butte, Telluride, Silverton, Purgatory, and Wolf Creek. Less at all other resorts.
  • About a foot total for the Wasatch and Tetons over a two day period.

I went backcountry skiing in Colorado on Saturday morning. I found crystal clear skies and a nearly full Snow Moon glowing bright.

Crystal clear Colorado beauty.
