There is an awesome TRIPLE LOW pressure system sitting off the west coast.

UNFORTUNATELY a high pressure system is building up in the northern states making the low pressure system slide south while out over the ocean and then drop a fraction of the water it would have if unobstructed from from the high pressure ridge.

So the water amounts for these next few days revised by at least half than it was a couple days ago.

Eureka /Oregon Coast around 3 inches

NORTH Tahoe area is 1.5 inches H2O
Shasta 2 inches H2O
Oregon east 3 inches H2O
McCall ID north 1 inches H2O to 1 inches to BC
West Yellowstone 2 inches H2O
SLC 1.8 inches H2O
Colorado 1-2 inches H2O
Seattle area 1.4 inches H2O
These numbers identical to the earlier post today.

Did do some riding lately at Mt. Rose, that day, and yesterday !
On the 30th. the snow was super light, almost ( no it was) baby powder light even if it looked settled!
Yesterday on the new snow that fell, it had some weight, not a lot a lot, but enough to get better traction from a stiff springed secondary.
