We are waking up to steady snow from our latest disturbance affecting the area today. Lower elevations may see snow taper off midday, before good orographics and cold air advection from -30ÂșC cold air aloft, and a fast moving jet stream redevelop snow this evening in northwest flow, wringing out every possible flake over the higher peaks. The fast moving jet stream will increase WNW winds into sunset, with some 50mph gusts at higher elevations. A strong northerly flow shifts over the state and cold temperatures return for Thursday and Friday.
