Cool & Sunny, We're Not Done Yet.....

Another cold day today with temps struggling to hit 40 on the mtn. Ridge is still sitting in the same place over the Eastern Pacific so a couple more storms will be kept to our North this week. One coming into Washington on Tuesday & another Thursday. The ridge may move West slightly for the Thursday storm allowing it to slide down further West clipping us with a brief snow shower. Temps will bump back into the 40's Tues.- Thurs. on the mtn, 50's in town. Then it will get cold again Friday with highs only in the 30's, maybe not breaking 40 even in town.

Still watching for the ridge to begin to shift West in the Pacific starting next weekend. Temps would warm to near 50 on the mtn. as warm air gets drawn up ahead of an approaching storm for Monday the 6th. This will be a cold storm with low snow levels. Not all that clear at this point how strong the storm will be, it may be a decent shot of snow with the cold front followed by some weaker waves of moisture for a couple of days. The weather looks to possibly stay cold & active into the 2nd week of April. Stay tuned......BA

BA. Do you get paid by Northstar?

Planning one more trip, do would you recommend waiting until the second week of April. It looks like there is going to be a lot of slush building up.

One more question, when do the ski resorts close?

No I do not get paid by Northstar I do this for fun. I have been doing this for a few years & the person in charge of the Northstar website was one of my readers, so she decided to put a link on their website.

Not much slush right now since it's been cold the past few days. it has been pretty firm. I would say next week looks like a couple chances of snow. most resorts are closing the 19th or 26th. I believe Squaw is staying open until May.
