Nowcast- As I attempt to balance my checkbook each month it's shockingly apparent... math isn't my strong suit. But when it comes to snow, it's less murky for me and yesterday's storm totals are an easy read... 15" of snow with barely an inch of SWE (snow water equivalent) stacked up across the range. That means the snow is chin tickling light, it's in your face, and the rent check didn't bounce this month :) As our big storm heads east, clouds are moth eaten and cold air has settled into the region with temperatures registering in negative territory as they clock in for the day shift. Throw in southerly winds blowing in the teens along the high ridges and you've got windchill delivering deisel gelling temperatures to -28 degrees. The riding and turning conditions make you forget about the cold with recent Yelp reviews rating the conditions with 4 stars.

Forecast- The next storm patiently waits its turn and a break in the action is slated through about early afternoon. Look for partly cloudy skies kicking off the day with temperatures climbing out of the deep freeze and into the teens and low 20's. Southerly winds start out reasonable, but begin ramping into the 30's and 40's for late in the day. Scattered snow showers are expected by closing bell.

Futurecast- A nice little refresh slides through the eastern front tonight and tomorrow and I bet we'll see an additional foot of snow by midday Friday. A break for Saturday with another storm in the queue to round out the weekend.
