One thing I learned quickly as a young shift forecaster years ago was forecasting low temperatures was usually much harder than forecasting highs.

Case in point this AM's arctic air in the upper Midwest. Note the coldest air pooling in river valleys, urban heat islands with big differences.

Good to see some snow today in Colorado, New Mexico, and a more conducive Cascades/northern Rockies pattern ahead.

Much of the West is running well behind average snowpack right now, granted it's still early in season.

Snow winner, so far....33" in Gile, WI, often the snowiest spot in the Badger State.
