A series of weaker storms will track across the Great Lakes and Northeast this week, resulting in consistent snow showers that will add up to sneaky good totals over time from Michigan to Vermont. The West will enter a dry period overall, with light snow for the Rockies expected at the end of the week as an arctic cold front moves through.

My forecast was on target, with very high totals for Showdown (22 inches), Vail (15 inches), and the Cottonwoods (21 inches). The western I-70 corridor fared the best, especially north of I-70. This was a tricky forecast with upside surprises bringing out the snorkels Saturday and today (Sunday).

Sunday through Tuesday will reward those who chase the powder stashes, from the North Shore of Superior over to the UP and east in Lower Michigan. Following the snow will be colder temps for a few days before a brief warmup is expected later next week.
