Synopsis – Wed Dec 18 2022

So dry weather thru at least Friday, with Saturday seeing more clouds from a system to our North. The next best possibility of any real snow looks to be this weekend in Mammoth, with light snow possible. Then as we near Christmas, a possible bigger storm looks likely. However, keep in mind the pattern favors weaker storms for us, off of a powerful jet to our North hitting Oregon and Washington and West coast. So we are on the southern edge of that jet for now. Updates of course tomorrow…DMATT
