Yep, looks like a big trough in the west around the 7-10 of January and a "warmup" here (never really gets that cold). When will that pattern break? Who knows. The clock is ticking and we are well on our way to another disappointing winter.
Amen brother. We had 11" here in that Jamuary 2022 system. But since then, basically nada in the foothills. As each week passes with no snow, we get closer to another disappointing winter.
Hate to say it but the pattern looks pretty boring the next 10 days. No major threats. Could be a little upslope snow but nothing major. Hopefully this warming event happens but the models are backing off that now too.
