Daily Snow Forecasts

Colorado
Groundhog Day
Updated 1 hour ago Joel Gratz
Each day will feel about the same with sunny skies, highs in the 30s, and lows in the 20s. Thanks to continued snowmaking, we'll see some new terrain open up, but mostly we're in a holding pattern until we get a lot more natural snow, and I don't see any significant storms in the next 10+ days.
US and Canada
Big storm for New England as the East remains active
Updated 1 day ago Alan Smith
A strong storm will bring heavy snow to Northern New England on Friday and early Saturday. Overall, the pattern will remain most active across Eastern North America for the next 10 days with additional snow chances along with cold temperatures. Western Canada will remain in an active but warm pattern with heavy snow for high elevation resorts in BC & Alberta.
Chase Powder
POWDER ALERT! Northern New England freshies
Updated 2 days ago Powderchaser Steve
A progressive system will overspread northern New England with moderate to heavy snowfall late Friday to Saturday. Light to moderate snow will fall in the central mountains of New England with a tease further south into metro areas of CT, NY, and RI by late Sunday or Monday.
