It is an absolute banner winter out west though. Lake Tahoe, Alta/Jackson, Steamboat, etc.
When I think climate change, I think lack of snows east and west. To me when the Sierra to Wasatch to Tetons to Rockies are having absolutely ridiculous seasons to date snowfall wise, that’s just a persistent trough being situated in the wrong place.
Its the classic snowy west and not snowy east… trough/ridge combo. There is a ying to our yang.
