Mountain West Discussion

[Roger Smith]

No snow cover below 4500' around here, just a cold drizzly rain, low overcast becoming fog above my elevation (which is 3500'). A thin snow cover in the alpine possibly 3-5" tops.

Models/ensembles have Colorado down near 0 degrees on Dec 1st.

Wild… NWS discussion and forecast doesn’t have the faintest hint (though officially it only goes through 11/30)

[Chinook]

yes, it's real. It's a long range forecast that's been somewhat consistent with the GFS and ECMWF the last couple of days, I think

It has been consistent. Snowfall is bouncing around though.

Latest Euro gives us a couple shots of snow. And yeah, pretty chilly.

As per the usual, the GFS and ECMWF runs now have some varied solutions as to when and if the snow will come into Colorado.

Looks like they're starting to come into general agreement for a quick 1-3" for much of the Front Range with the cold front Friday overnight.

[Chinook]

yes it looks like the snow is headed to the Midwest quickly over the weekend

I am moving to the Carpinteria, CA area in early January... Any SoCal/Central Coast posters on here?

There were 1-2 a year or more ago, but haven't heard anything from them in a long time. Feel free to start a thread! Could be interesting, with atmospheric rivers etc. as opposed to the yawn of a fall/winter we're having in the Rockies so far.
