Western Snow: Two Storm Combo

Tomer’s Take

  • Colorado bullseye spots: 8-10″ in the last 24hrs reported at Aspen/Snowmass, Crested Butte, Telluride, Silverton, and Wolf Creek. I’m forecasting another 1-2+ feet by Thursday morning. Wolf Creek might be the biggest winner with almost 4 total feet.
  • Arctic air continues filtering in-between storm systems.
  • Taos: 1-2 feet total by Thursday afternoon. Lull in snowfall between storm #1 and storm #2 on Wednesday morning. The sun might even come out. 70% of the grand total comes from storm #2 between Wednesday afternoon-Thursday.
  • Wasatch: Another wave of accumulating snow arrives Tuesday night through Wednesday, 4-6″ new.

Crested Butte, CO is one of my bullseye spots for big totals. Looking good so far.

Wolf Creek, CO is on their way to almost 4 feet by Thursday afternoon. Heavy snow continues:

Infrared satellite shows the storm track and two-storm combo for the West. A few large low pressure systems are cruising through the North Pacific and will nail the PNW and B.C. (maybe even parts of CA) between 2/26-3/4 as the storm track shifts.

    I have been enjoying the Taos Ski Valley updates, and thanks for your support of my daughter, Sarah Strattan.

      Thanks, Gaar! I’ve been trying to add a few more places into my discussions like Taos. It looks like a great week down there. Chris
