Time and Day: 0900 Monday
The
Snapshot: What a storm. 23" of new snow at the top of the Daisy Chair since 4pm last night. The
snow will taper off today. Cold with
partly cloudy conditions will develop today with sunshine tomorrow.

and go last night as the cold front stalled just west of the crest. A cold arctic front will usher in frigid air
from the north tonight. Stable, clear
and cold conditions settle over the region as high pressure strengthens
throughout the week.
4-7day
Long Range: Long
range models agree on the dry and cold weather lasting through the week and
possibly extending into the weekend.
