Here we are, 20 years after the Big Lebowski. Coincidentally, there’s a large upper-atmosphere low-pressure system, let’s just call it “the Dude,” that’s bowling a series of closed lows across the western US this week into next. Each frame will bring a shot of snow, cooler temps and wind.
The first of these bowling balls crashed through Colorado yesterday, dropping well over a foot at Wolf Creek Pass, and 3 to 8 inches of fresh pow around the upper Gunnison Valley. Irwin picked up 5″, Schofield 8″, CBMR 4″, Upper Taylor 2″.
Today the Dude knocks back a cold one, while we sit under a brief shot of high pressure. Tomorrow the Dude bowls the next storm our way, spinning in Saturday night into Sunday.
