Monday wound up being a mostly dry day because the storm moved more slowly than anticipated and the wind direction and wind speed were unfavorable for a lot of the day.

On Monday night, the wind direction and wind speed became more favorable and we saw 1 inch of snow.

Now on Tuesday morning, light snow is ongoing, and the light snow should continue on Tuesday, Tuesday night, and even into Wednesday morning. We could see 2-5 inches of snow from Tuesday morning through Wednesday morning, and this will mean continued soft turns on both Tuesday and early on Wednesday.

On Thursday, we will likely get a break in the snow with the potential for mostly sunny skies, though I am not completely sure about this as some recent data suggests more clouds and even a snow shower. We'll see.

Then our next chances for snow will be from Friday into Saturday morning with the chance for 1-4+ inches of snow, and perhaps additional light snow around Monday, January 9, and again around Wednesday, January 11.

After that, a stormy weather pattern will likely set up across the western US starting around January 16. This could be good (snowy) news for us, and we'll watch this closely as we head into mid-January.

Thanks for reading!
