Current Snow Depth |
-------
.. Our snow depth is below what it ought to be for this time of year. The Madison Valley is skirting 30% below average. The Gallatin Valley is around15% down depending on elevation,
.. It's early in the snow year and we continue to hope the La Niña conditions weaken and allow our Gulf of Alaska Low to pump some moisture our way. The cool Pacific Ocean pushes our major weather patterns to the north. We've already missed two of the "Pineapple Express" events as they went to British Columbia.
.. The Gulf of Alaska Low is weaker than usual because the Japan Current is being cooled on both sides of the Pacific Ocean. We will get snow but it will have to climb over the highest point in the Continental Divide between The Tetons and Spanish Peaks. Even the sledheads are worried.
.. The neighbors have found a new regional weather site that is centered on West Yellowstone. Check it out HERE.
