Snow-viewing
Til we're buried.
--- Matsuo BashÅ (1644-1694)
We are still living in a snow globe.
Overnight snow totals are 3-5" with storm totals of 8-12". Amazing that the Bunnells snow stake has nearly 150" on the ground.
Mountain temperatures are in the teens. Winds were reportedly moderate to strong from the southwest overnight but have lost steam in the past few hours.
For today, we'll see light snowfall that may add up to another 1-3" of fairy dust. Temperatures will be in the teens and low 20s. Winds will remain light from the west.
We (the intermountain west) are buried beneath a long wave trough that will continue to keep at least light snowfall going off and on through Wednesday evening. We stay relatively cool with generally light to moderate wind. The next series of storms fire up on Friday. The image below - you can see we're nested in the cradle of storms.
We did not hear of any avalanches from the Provo mountains yesterday, but fresh wind drifts (photo) have been triggered by backcountry observers Friday and Saturday. Dave Jarvis was in Rock Canyon yesterday. Report
