Three storm systems lined-up through 12/12

Tomer’s Take: Three different storm systems are lined-up through 12/12 with big totals for most of the West.

• Storm #1 rides a powerful SW to NE oriented jet stream. It targets specific locations in CO with heavy orographic snowfall. Big powder likely at Vail Pass, Wolf Creek, Purgatory, Crested Butte, Steamboat 12/5-12/8.
• Unfortunately, for the second day in a row, I shaved my forecast totals for the Wasatch and Tetons 12/4-12/6.
• Storm #2 + storm #3 look more significant for the Wasatch between 12/9-12/12.
