Synopsis – MON MAR 23 2026

WHOA! Mammoth so far has only recorded 1 inch of new snow for the month of March! High pressure persists over our area, with temps still running some 20°+ above normal this week, even though the heat will let up a bit. Snow melt will continue to accelerate at the lower levels. Right now it looks like there will be no big storms through the month of March. With all this early heat, the question is, what does that mean for our Summer?…DMATT
