Precipitation wise, things have trended less dry over the northern tier of states 🌨️

Temperatures don't need to be below average for it to snow.

On balance, this is a good sign for at least near normal snowfall in the NW/Rockies, Midwest/NE.

Not so good: California dry signal. pic.twitter.com/s00JakPnRp
