Sorry for the short forecast, but I’m in the tropics so my mind isn’t too much on snow. Big picture, we’re looking at a lot of small snowstorms from now until forecast fairyland. After a bit of snow today (Monday), the Canadian Model is calling for 3” on Christmas Day, and the American Model is calling for 1”. Another round of snow late Thursday through Sunday morning of 3” per the Canadian Model. The American Model, however, is saying this storm will only be on Friday night, and will amount to 2”. More snow again next Monday to Wednesday – 3” per the American and Canadian Models.
If you want more details specifically for the weekend, temperatures will be around freezing for the highs, with a mix of sun and clouds. And it’ll be windy, as always.
Happy Holidays!

Geeky Notes:
References to the American Model are to the American (GFS) Model grid including Brainerd Lake with an average elevation of 9,439’. References to the Canadian Model are the Canadian (GDPS) Model grid including Brainerd Lake with an average elevation of 10,253’. References to the WRF Model are the CAIC WRF Hi-Res Model point forecast for Eldora Ski Area with an elevation of 9,189’. References to the European Model are to the European (ECMWF) Model on a point with my cursor at my best estimate of Eldora Ski Area. For big picture overviews, I tend to rely on the American Model, not because I think it is the most accurate, but because (i) it is free and (ii) I like its interface.
