The current pattern of snow that we’re in winds down on Friday with a weak low pressure moving over our patrol zone. American, Canadian, and European Models are all calling for 2”, and the WRF model is calling for 4”.
The highs on Saturday look to be around twenty with clearing skies, and the highs on Sunday look to be around thirty and sunny.
More light snow next Tuesday/Wednesday. Here are the model solutions:
3” – Canadian Model
2” – European Model
1” – American Model
I’ll try to do a better retrospective discussion after this week is over, but we’re already at 5”, so a bit above most model solutions for the week, and it isn’t over yet.
Cheers.

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 European Model are the European (ECMWF IFS) Model grid including Brainerd Lake. 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 Icon and UKMet Models are to the 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.
