Snow Forecast Favors the Northwest:

A powerful storm will bring heavy snow to the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies this weekend into early next week. The Central Rockies will also get hit hard with this storm with deep snow totals adding up across Utah and Colorado, while Northern New Mexico could also do well. The Sierra is less certain but should pick up some decent snowfall as well.
