Snow All This Week

The weather forecasters in Utah are notoriously bad. They generally don't get the forecast right for tomorrow much less the 7-day forecast. I miss those forecasters in Southern California because the weather matched the computer modeling better than it does in Utah. The jet stream in particular seems to be the single largest reason the forecasters here are wrong. They have poor performance in predicting the behavior of the jet stream and thus the rain or snow could be 100 miles north or south of us with very little indication from 24-hours out.

Even though they say we will get snow for the next 7 days, I think we will be lucky to get some decent rain, since the temperature is too high for snow. It needs to be about 8 or 10 degrees colder for snow.
