US and Canada Daily Snow

Powder party at Jay Peak, Rockies snow Sat & Sun
Summary
An early-week storm brought snow to northern New England with up to 21 inches reported at Jay Peak. Coming up, the Rockies will get snow this weekend, and next week’s storms could drop snow from coast-to-coast.
Short Term Forecast
Powder Party
Most mountains in New England reported a few inches to a foot from this week’s storm.
I believe that the deepest powder fell at Jay Peak on Tuesday and Wednesday with 21 inches reported in 48 hours. Lots of folks skinned up the mountain to enjoy the powder, and it looked like a party run on the way down.
This new snow makes brings the tally to 34 inches during the seven days from November 7-13th.
Forecast for Thu, Nov 14 – Fri, Nov 15
The weather map will be reasonably quiet on Thursday and Friday. Northern New England could see just light snow, and the most significant totals will be in coastal British Columbia and Alaska.
Forecast for Sat, Nov 16 – Sun, Nov 17
The action this weekend will be in western Canada and southward along the spine of the Rocky Mountains. Many areas in British Columbia could see over one foot of snow, and lighter snow amounts in the 1-6 inch range should fall on Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado.
Forecast for Mon, Nov 18 – Thu, Nov 21
Looking ahead to next week, there is still a lot of uncertainty in how the storms will work out. Snow falling from coast-to-coast is a possibility.
In the west, the Rockies will once again be favored, and it’s possible that a (warm-ish) storm could stall over the southwest, bringing some snow to higher elevations of California, southern Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico.
In the east, a powerful storm could track along the coast on or about Wednesday, November 20th, but the storms’ track is uncertain and a little movement east or west will mean the difference between significant snow and no snow.
Extended Forecast
Outlook for Fri, Nov 22 – Tue, Nov 26
Forecasts 8+ days into the future are always uncertain, and this forecast is no exception.
The most I can say is that the storm track from the northern Rockies to New England may stay active, and there could be another storm or two that tracks into the southwest.
Thanks so much for reading, and check back for my next post on Monday, November 18th.
