Really hope that comes true. We've held on for a while, but it is starting to get really icy.

Last cycle top, this cycle bottom, we look at the comparison and the first thing that jumps out is the cutoff low in the top box. No cutoffs in November, but after that pretty similar looking event. This is still a long way out but if it holds up, we are looking at a Trifecta--3 strong storms in 7 days or less.

hitting up Lake Tahoe the first week of March
I'll be there March 3-18. There's not much of a base now, but it seems to be holding. Small storms predicted for next week and I'll be hoping for a lot more before March 3.

For the experts and folks out west on here, where would you go in continental U.S. in mid-to-late Feb if you were starting to plan a trip?
honestly - you should head east to Vermont. The are inundated with snow. Best season possibly ever up there.

My trip to winter park later this month is looking more like a chore at this point.

Look up "Lezaks recurring cycle" or the LRC. Its actually pretty accurate on predicting when a storm will be. The specifics usually change but the generality on when one will occur is pretty accurate

OpenSnow, FutureSnow, Chase Thompson and pretty much everyone else I follow that covers snow conditions out west.
Looking like 3’ or so the week of Feb 10.

There are changes around the way, we’ve been talking about this since way back in January. When will we get the pattern change? The Weather 2020 model pointed towards the second week of February, our analog data suggested the same and now here it comes. We put out Colorado snowpack data yesterday and I enhanced the map today’s by showing you exactly what’s going to happen when these storms hit. Circled is the late November early December part of the pattern, which is returning February 10. The end of the data line is going to veer to the left, how big will that veer be? It should be very similar to the first cycle (circled). It’s not going to get us out of below average territory, but over the next four to five weeks is the best part of the pattern. A brief overview of what is to come, we will have good storms for 10 days, and then a short lull of seven days, a small storm, with five days in between, another storm, and then a series of storms on March 16. ?

I remember someone asked about in-helmet bluetooth headphones.... I just got an email for 50% off these. I have used them for 2 seasons, they work great.

Specifics (how much, when exactly) are still sketchy for Utah but now we know, the warm/dry pattern is ending and a multi-day storm cycle Feb 10–16 is firmly locked in.
By Monday, the moisture returns and by Tuesday we should start to see snow again. Sometimes late next weekend (late Saturday or Sunday) the second storm should arrive with temps dropping down into the teens, windchill in the single digits up on the mountain.
The good news for Mardi Gras skiers is that the best stuff should miss Presidents Day weekend. If you had a powder day AND presidents day weekend at the same time coming off the worst ski season in memory and a week of these warm temps, the lift lines would like like Best Buy on Black Friday circa 2003.
Alot of the SLC locals will probably head into the canyons for the deeper stuff so while I think it will be more crowded than it's been all year, it shouldn't by anything like 2003 when the NBA All-Star Game was in SLC over Presidents Day Weekend which fell over Mardi Gras week AND it seemed like one big powder day after another.

skied today until the slush wore my legs out.
had perfectly-groomed corduroy, spring slush, and mashed potatoes...all in a single run depending on the shade and aspect. at least it meant getting above the inversion.
forecast looks promising and is holding every time I refresh it (you don't know how many times we've had snow in the forecast and at the last minute it turns to rain or misses us). hope everyone in the west gets februBURIED!

Headed to PC on Sunday, my prayers have been answered and looks like some (any) amount of snow is happening next week.

Storm needs to intensify and deliver snow everywhere.
I'm seeing Utah snow pack is at lowest recorded levels in the 45 years they have been tracking it.
Woof.

Alta looking at 4+ feet over the next few weeks. Cut that number in half for the Wasatch back, although DV could do well with this type of setup.

The LCC and BCC will get close to 8, PC and DV will end up with close to or more than 4. And with another dry March expected these storms will “save” the season for Utah.
