This week, NOAA is forecasting what they are calling the “strongest storm of the season” — a jet stream-powered storm predicted to dump several feet of snow in the mountains of British Columbia to California. Other forecasters are predicting “multiple powder days for the west” for later this week and into the weekend.
Potential epic snowfall is in sight for these regions: Western Canada & British Columbia, Pacific Northwest, Northern Rockies, California, Utah & Colorado.
What a way to start the season!
