Well this hyped, "new pattern" has arrived and was graced us with a 2-4 inch snowfall as it came in the door. Now is a great opportunity ski areas to recover from the blowtorch that was mid-January and start to rebuild bases.
This next week has the possibility of delivering a handful of re-developing clippers that give the goods, or it could be frustratingly dry and cold.
Tuesday is the 1st of these opportunities for snow, followed by Thursday-Friday and Saturday-Sunday. Knowing that these storms are redeveloping clippers, the southern ski areas have a higher chance of getting appreciable snow. Regarding Tuesday, Models have been trending wetter and farther to the NW and latest runs have brought about half of ski country back in line for accumulating snows. This is looking like it will be a modest storm, but as always keep an eye on it.
Along with the clipper threats, this cold pattern is great for upslope snows. The cold, combined with the unstable air, should deliver the usual suspects their share of snow, even if the clippers don't plan out for them.
Overall, it looks like this R@!n nonsense is over with for the time being.
