After a little medical mayhem for both Bryan and Evan over the last week, the hosts shift gears to the real scoop: the Pacific Northwest is getting dumped on with feet of snow! Idaho and Montana’s powder totals will be climbing but the rest of the West will be in a continued snow drought. The Great Lakes region continues to get in on the action as well with feet of snow forecasted as well.

Evan gets into the top‑ten leaderboard that’s got Mount Baker, Revelstoke, and the surprisingly snow‑heavy Upper Peninsula in the mix with Mt. Bohemia.

Will the West see more snow after the big Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies storms this week? Definitely not next week since a big heat wave is coming that will melt lots of snow in the Rockies, California, and the Southwest.

But the end of the month promises a change in the pattern especially for the West, and hopefully it's not too little too late...
