No New Snow... But a New Pitbull Song

TL;DR:

    With a ridge of high-pressure building over the West expect a break in the snow and some cold overcast weather.

Nowcast:

    Good morning folks, and welcome to another beautiful day in the mountains. While we are not blessed with more of the finest snow in all of America, some flurries are falling. Cold temperatures today dipping down below 10°F.  Mild North-Northwesterly winds will accompany the cold temperatures so pack some extra layers. While you're up in the mountains boogie to the new Pitbull song to stay in a cheery mood!

Look at that new Sunnyside six-pack. Are you skiing with five of your friends, well now you can all ride the same chair, Wahooooooooo. Alta

Short term:

    Looking to the next couple of days an area of high pressure will be settling over the West coast, some flurries are possible but no totals like we have seen throughout this year. Expect cloudy skies and low temperatures.

Long term:

    Patience will be the name of the game for the next couple of weeks. Models show the ridge of high-pressure residing over the west for some time to come. That being said it looks like there may be some potential for a couple small precipitation events throughout the dry period. Stand by and pray to the snow gods, throw a spoon under your pillow, and wear your PJ's inside out, let's break this funk!
