December 31
...Heavy snow possible from portions of the Pacific Northwest to the northern Rockies...

Jan 1

...Areas of heavy snow possible from the Pacific Northwest to the northern plains and Upper Midwest...

Jan 2

...cold air is expected to remain in place as an upper-level trough remains overhead. Additionally, an arctic surface front will drift south through Monday, ushering another round of frigid air associated with an arctic surface high into areas from the Pacific Northwest to the northern plains. The continued presence of upper-level energy will keep areas of snow in the forecast from portions of the Pacific Northwest and northern California to the Rockies on Monday, with heavy snow possible for some areas.
