SIGNS OF THE TIMES--First Snow

Colder air is beginning to mobilize in Canada that will bring the first snow of the season to the USA Northern Rockies and part of the Central Rockies.

* The first snow is expected in the mountains of North Utah by late Friday night.

* Inside Yellowstone National Park, occasional snow showers will develop Friday night and will continue through most of the weekend. Low temperatures will be around 25 and highs near 35.This is going to be a moisture-laden Northern Rocky Mountain storm so you can bet some of the highest elevations will get a good covering.

THUNDERSNOW
* In the Colorado Mountains, snow showers late Saturday and Saturday night will also feature some thunderstorms. (Translation: Thundersnow!) This includes such popular places as Aspen, Vail and Leadville.

I will never forget sliding off an ice covered street into a small ravine in Leadville one night because I was too stubborn to buy chains. They had trippled the price because of an oncoming storm.

Is it too early to do a snow dance here? I'm ready for crisp fall air and winter weather. Maybe this will be our year to see snow. :-)

I am sure the 10 day models will soon start with snow deep into south Alabama. At 5 days the snow line will move to the Birmingham area and by day one the snow line will stop near Nashville TN.

NOT the first for a few Colorado Mountains as they got some snow a while back that was reported on TWC.
