2025-2026 Fall/Winter Mountain Thread

[WxKnurd]

About to head back to Montana and we finally had our first snow in Billings, overperformer and ended up with 8” or so when they were calling for 4-5”. Been nice to have some cold these past few days here in the foothills at my parents, prepping me for heading back to the first cold snap of the year out there!

Low DP's will do that. Evaporative cooling . The Model's tend to miss it many times.

Can I order a repeat of this pattern in January? Drop 3-4º off the column and we'd have ourselves a couple nice storms on the way. 

Liking what the GFS is showing for late next week. Hoping the backside of the Tue system produces up high so I can get out and snow hike on Wednesday.
