Powder....

We picked up 11 inches at the Summit as of noon today on top of the 8 inches from Thursday night.  That brings the 2 day total to 19 inches.  More snow on the way the next 2 days.

The next storm will move in during the day on Sunday.  It looks like the heaviest snow will fall overnight Sunday into Monday morning, with snow showers lingering into Monday night.  This storm is not as strong as the last one but we may pick up twice as much snow since the storm will be colder and all snow. 

By MOnday night we may see an additional 12-18 inches at the base and 18-24+ inches at the summit.  That would bring the 4 day totals to 3-4 feet up top.  That will make the conditions the best of the season so far.

Starting Tuesday it looks like the storm track will shift North into the Pacific NW through the end of the week.  Beyond that the forecast models diverge with some showing a cold snowy pattern setting in and others showing a prolonged quiet period.  We'll take a closer look after some more big snow the next couple days.  BA
