Western storm system this week

Tomer’s Take

  • Finally, after weeks of high pressure and only minor, fast-moving cold fronts an actual storm system is lined-up.
  • It hits ID on 2/14, 2/15 WY/MT/UT, and 2/16 CO, NM.
  • This storm system is not a blockbuster, but it will pave the way for another storm system on 2/21-2/22.
  • Unfortunately, this storm system only brushes CA with light accumulation.

I did some backcountry skiing on Saturday in Colorado. Temps started below zero there was a couple inches of fresh snow. That’s been the pattern for the last 5 weeks with only fast-moving, minor cold fronts.

Enjoying the view on 2/12/2022, Colorado.
