Christmas Wasn’t Warm & Snowless Everywhere
Much of the focus of late has been on the heat, rain and tornadic thunderstorms. However, Christmas wasn’t warm everywhere.
Over the West from Sierra to Wasatch and from Montana to New Mexico, the snows have been piling up with cold persisting through much of December.
This active Pacific storm track has been highly beneficial to a very dry West with snow water equivalent running above normal in much of the Intermountain West.
Remember back to late summer and how bad the West became with exceptional drought conditions.
On Christmas Day, West Yellowstone, MT had 32″ of snow on the ground. This was the most for Dec 25th since 1944.
In Cut Bank, MT, the high of 4 degrees was the 4th coldest Christmas Day on record. Coldest was 2012.
