Several slow-moving areas of low pressure will meander across the West this weekend with significant moisture favoring Southern Montana and portions of the Northern Rockies where locally heavy rain is expected. Thunderstorms can also be expected across parts of the Central/Southern Rockies and Sierra while the Pacific Northwest will stay dry.

Multiple slow-moving areas of low pressure will spin around the Northern/Central Rockies with high moisture levels expected through the weekend. Lightning activity will be more limited but still possible. Fri will be the wettest day in the near term with off-and-on rain throughout the day. Sat also looks showery but not quite as wet as Fri. Sun looks slightly drier but showers are still expected.

After a few rainy days with high snow levels, the cold front arrived last night and we have transitioned to snow. Snow will continue moderate to heavy at times through Saturday evening, with some light snow thereafter. Another cold storm arrives Sunday night, with a more southerly track, that will likely last through the middle of next week at least.

The showers and potential thunderstorms continue through the end of May. Our chances for snow is essentially zero as we end Spring and begin Summer on June 1st. Mostly seasonable temps should prevail as we transition from Spring to Summer. Enjoy the pleasant weather after the long hard winter!

Thank you so much for reading and following the first year of the Europe Daily Snow. I enjoyed writing this forecast and tracking storms in Europe this Winter. In this post I will review the 2022/2023 Winter, discuss some features OpenSnow offers for your summer adventures, and discuss some details for the Europe Daily Snow next season.

What a difference a year makes! Last year we were reveling in a deep May snowpack and continued bouts of late season powder. That was the 'Yin', and this year’s 'Yang' is a below average snowpack and a late season heatwave that has draped a thick haze of early season wildfire smoke over the Rockies. All said and done, there was just enough snow all season long to keep coverage adequate.

Mostly sunny and mild days ahead. The odds of precip are low going forward and it's quite unlikely we'll see anything but more sun and maybe a few rain showers next week. Winter has finally come to a close for us...

A drying and warming trend through the 2nd week of May as we head later into Spring. These posts will resume again in the fall when the snow begins to fly again during the 2023-24 ski season.

It was a record-breaking year in Utah and one we will never forget. It brought some unprecedented snowfall totals, and also some unprecedented challenges.

It is the final week of daily operations at Snowbowl, then weekends into Memorial Day.

The 22/23 season delivered multiple records in multiple States. Chasing powder was so abundant that many of the top days of the season became a blur or endless powder days. Let's look at some data and photos from the top chases this season.

Thanks for reading this season, and best wishes for a wonderful spring, summer, and fall!

Thanks for reading this season, and best wishes for a wonderful spring, summer, and fall! In this post I wrap up the season's snowpack, offer ways OpenSnow will be helpful during your summer adventures, and preview next winter.

A pre-season “Triple Dip” La Nina prediction was thought to bring above average snowfall to NW MT, while bringing drier than normal conditions to SW MT. So much for seasonal predictions as SW MT’s Big Sky had their snowiest season in recent memory (128% average/310” tally), with NW MT’s Whitefish (normally 332”/year) falling below average (65% average/210” tally). Big state, lots of highlights…

The dome of High Pressure over Idaho will cause daytime temperatures to soar into the mid-60s at Bogus Basin and Silver Mountain on Friday and Saturday, and highs could hit 70 on Sunday. Lows will be the mid-40s, so the snow is going to be soft and mushy for the final weekend at Silver Mountain and Bogus Basin's second bonus weekend. That's OK! Lots of sunshine to enjoy!

Thank you all for a great season. The New England Daily Snow wraps for Winter 22-23 with a recap of the booms and busts and tallies the season snowfall totals. Be sure to check our forecast pages if any additional flakes fly this Spring. Until November, think snow!

Several storm systems will continue to give late-season powder through the Eastern Rockies mid to late week. Some upper Midwest snow is likely as well as the ‘cool’ spring continues. These rounds of storms are coming from British Columbia and Alaska with big snow totals out there. The Pacific Northwest, Sierras, and Wasatch warm up as the snowmelt season continues.

In this final post of the 2022-2023 season, we relive some of the most memorable storm cycles and sum up the season from a snowpack perspective. It was a season we won't soon forget and perhaps one for the record books at Ski Santa Fe with the 40 inches in 48 hours Valentine's Day storm. Thanks for a great season and see you for 2023-2024!

Another cold storm will impact the area on Mon-Tue with heavy snow & low snow levels across the Cascades. Cool temps & lingering snow showers can be expected Wed-Thu, followed by a warm-up this weekend with rain showers possible, especially on Sun.

Winter ain't over yet! It has been a beautiful couple weeks with some very warm temperatures. That will all change on Monday! Let's get into a quick update.

Multiple storms will impact BC this weekend & early next week. Whistler & SW BC will see light rain/snow showers initially on Sat then heavy snow & lowering snow levels Sun into Mon. The Interior will stay dry for most of closing weekend at remaining ski areas with light showers arriving Sun aftn & heavier snow Sun night. Cool & wet/snowy conditions will likely prevail across BC thru late April.

It was a rocky 2022-2023 ski and ride season in the Mid-Atlantic. Despite one of the warmest and least snowy winters on record for several areas, snowmaking provided bases and allowed the season to stay alive. There were several big snowstorms that started and ended the season with a bang. Read on for more updates about what happened this season…

Sunday will be another mild day on the slopes, with spring fever in full force! Next week will feel more like early summer at times than April as a significant warmup is headed toward the Midwest for the second full week of April.
