Accu Weather reports that Spokane Washington is having the snowiest October in 44 Years. They are also seeing record snowfall in parts of Montana for this early in the season.
AccuWeather meteorologists say the worst of the storm is forecast to focus on a swath of the Dakotas into Friday where an “all-out-blizzard” will unfold, including sections of Interstates 90 and 94. However, the snow has already caused widespread travel issues across the region.
This week’s storm is responsible for the first snow of the season for many cities across the central United States, including Denver. There were even a few reports of thundersnow in some of the heavier bursts of snow on Wednesday night and Thursday.
The storm is dumping up to two feet of snow as it works its way from the Rockies into the northern plains states. Power outages are common as most of the trees are still covered in leaves, pulling snow-laden branches down on power lines.
It’s a scenario we’re familiar with here in the North East. But while temperatures are expected to drop over the next ten days, there is no snow in our immediate forecast.
