The storm is in Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia, Today and is a slow mover–which is good for high totals. Looking at this animation you can see the totals pile up. Click to animate.
Whistler Stoke
Today
PNW
Snow today with wind chills in the teens. Southwest winds as the storm moves in offshore. Winter Storm Warning begins tonight as the strong band moves across Washington and Oregon.
Total accumulation for the Northern Cascades today is 4-8 during the day and 1-2 feet overnight. For the Southern Cascades expect a little less during the day, 1-3 and 1-2 feet overnight. First chair tomorrow should be epic.
Tomorrow
PNW
Snow continues with additional totals of 6-10 for the northern Cascades as the bulk of the system moves south and east. Heavy snow for the southern Cascades with 1-2 feet expected.
Monday and Tuesday
Another wave of heavy snow for the southern Cascades with 1-2 feet of cold Blower Pow, bring your snorkels! Would be a good time to book a room at the Timberline (Stanley hotel in The Shining) in case the roads close.
Northern Cascades–Go south! Ok, you will still get fresh snow, but the best snow will be in Oregon. Expect 4-6 each day.
Tahoe
Snow may make it as far south as the northern mountains of Tahoe. I’ll keep an eye on this as the storm progresses. I initially thought that it would make it, due to the stronger jet stream this time of year. We will know more tomorrow.
Utah
Storm reaches Utah Wednesday with heavy snow expected for the Cottonwoods. Storm totals should be in the double digits both Tuesday and Wednesday.
Colorado
No Soup, yet
Wednesday
Storm reaches Colorado, details forthcoming.
Northern Part of the Pattern Storm for Thursday
The switch in the Pattern begins with this storm hitting Whistler.
