Summary

What a wild 7 days for the West! The Tetons scored double digits in the past 3 days with lighter amounts in many areas of Montana. The Cascades got teased with single digit accumulations at higher elevations. The real winner in the powder game was most of central and northern Colorado where up to 53 inches has fallen in the past 7 days. Most resorts along I-70 are reporting 2-3 foot storm totals with 15-20 inches at Aspen. Steamboat may have similar amounts to Aspen (18 on the snow camera that has not been cleared). Checking the Tower SNOTEL at 10K feet we see 3 inches of water in the past several days, which would equivalate to much higher amounts at the summit of Steamboat. Loveland nabbed 37 inches in 72 hours and it's still snowing (very limited terrain is open). The winner is Breckenridge with 53 inches in 7 days! The next few days will feature light snow for most of the northern Rockies (MT, CO, WY). A storm system will move into northern New England early this weekend. A significant storm is possible for New England towards the middle of next week. Some spots in Colorado are currently at 190% of normal for snowpack for mid-November!
