Ski resorts have been rejoicing in feet and feet of additional powder since mid-December. Another good weather-related fact is that it has been well below freezing during this time. Thus what is falling up there is generally staying (besides getting skied off, blown off, or evaporated) and is generally staying as powder.

The mountain outlook this weekend looks great.

DAY WEATHER NEW SNOW TEMPS
Friday Mostly cloudy - snow showers 1-2" Around 20°
Saturday Snow showers early, then sun 1-3" Around 15°
Sunday Snow showers afternoon - night 2-4" Around 20°

From Friday to Sunday I expect another 4-9" of snow across the ski resorts, with temperatures that are reasonable for this time of year. Wind chills will be a bit of a factor, but will feel like 0° Friday and Saturday, then around 10° Sunday. Get out and enjoy it!
