Powder for the East:

Over the past week, the East has experienced cold temperatures along with several shots of snow from New England to the Mid-Atlantic. Jay Peak (pictured) below received 24 inches of snow in 3 days from January 17-19 and conditions on the mountain have been deep. Further south, ski resorts in the Mid-Atlantic also received deep snow totals over the weekend, including 25 inches at Timberline (WV) and 18 inches at Seven Springs (PA)! 

Forecast for Mon (Jan 22) to Tue (Jan 23):

A storm will split upon reaching the West Coast with the southern part of the storm favoring the Sierra with the deepest totals, while Northern Arizona and Southern Utah will also pick up modest totals. Further north, the Pacific Northwest will pick up light to moderate snow across the higher terrain, but snow levels will be on the higher side with rain for some lower-elevation ski areas. 

Across the East, a storm will bring snow to the Lower Great Lakes, New York, and Western New England with rain showers further south in the Mid-Atlantic as warmer air spreads into the region. 

Forecast for Wed (Jan 24) to Thu (Jan 25):

Weak storms will continue to move into the West on a regular basis with light to moderate snow totals for the Sierra, Cascades, and Rockies. Mild temperatures will continue to result in iffy snow levels across the coastal ranges. Warmer air will also overtake the East as the next storm arrives with snow changing over to rain across the Northeast and New England. 

Forecast for Fri (Jan 26) to Sat (Jan 27):

Snow will linger across the Southern Rockies (CO and NM primarily) into early Friday. The next storm will take a more northerly track into the PNW and Western Canada, but temperatures may rise even more with this storm with a greater likelihood of rain at ski resorts in the Cascades and parts of Southern BC. Heavy snow is likely further north in Alaska. A mild airmass will remain in place across the East with periods of rain expected.

Outlook for Sun (Jan 28) to Thu (Feb 1):

A warm airmass will remain in place across most ski regions of North America next week, except for Alaska where temperatures will be colder than average. High pressure (along with mild temps) will limit snow potential for many areas, though some storms could sneak into the Sierra Nevada Range including Tahoe. A more active storm track is also expected for Northwest BC and Alaska. 

Thanks so much for reading! Next update on Wednesday (Jan 24).
