Light snow midweek, more snow late week
Updated 11 hours ago Joel Gratz
Monday and Tuesday will be dry. We could see a few flakes and light snow accumulations from later Tuesday through Thursday. From later Friday into Friday night, a stronger storm could deliver at least a few inches of snow to most mountains. After that, we could see another round of lighter snow around Jan 25-27, and then, finally, the weather pattern should change as we head into February.
US and Canada
Storm track favors the East for the next 2 weeks
Updated 12 hours ago Alan Smith
A powerful Nor'Easter brought heavy snow to the Mid-Atlantic on Sunday, and New England will see heavy snow from this storm on Monday. The pattern for the rest of this week (and also next week) will favor the East & Upper Midwest while the West will remain in a drier pattern. BC, Alberta, & the Northern U.S. Rockies will see some snow this week, then next week's track shifts north to Alaska.

Warm and wet for New England! North Carolina is scoring!...
Updated 1 day ago Powderchaser Steve
Moderate snowfall will be found in the coastal and interior regions of British Columbia in the next 24-48 hours. Heavy wet freshies will quickly slam New England Sunday night to Tuesday with strong winds and 9-12 inches of snow at the peaks. The Rockies get teased late next week.
