In the 20s and light lake effect snow since around midnight (doubt it's more than an inch, but it's blowing around making things a little more slippery). 40 degrees by the weekend. Other than a week of very cold weather to start the year (and the first snowstorms), a very mild winter, which is fine by me.
Valley floor 3650 feet/temp16 F, no snow except some patchy areas/ mountains on each side of valley (7000 feet and higher) 121% of normal snow depth for this date...........Lost Trail Ski Area (7500feet to 8800 feet) at Lost Trial Pass/Hwy93) ....74 inch base........Frozen Fog forecast for tomorrow morning to noon.

Winter in Austin, Texas is the only time it's even remotely bearable.
Every other 'season' (really there's just 4 months of bearable weather
then the blast furnace summers, which go on forever) is horrible and tiring.
Upstate NY is the coldest part of the contiguous 48 as usual. Currently in the teens while everywhere else is at least around 30 like Chicago and Minneapolis. All other major cities are anywhere from 45-80. NYC, Boston, Philly, DC, Seattle, Denver, Miami, SF, LA, Dallas, etc.
On top of that, the forecast for the next ten days is mostly snow and clouds with one day of partial sunshine. Everywhere else has one or two snow/rain days if any and sunny days the rest.
Upstate NY is hands down one of the worst places to live and the worst I've ever lived. So glad I'm moving soon. I dunno how people live here. It's awful. I didn't know such a place existed with a climate so bad.

...........Admitedly what I'm about to tell you about today's weather (and tomorrow's) is NOT typical or normal.
I'm located approx 50 miles south of Missoula Montana, at 3650' elevation in a valley betweem two mountain ranges which are about 5 miles apart.
Have not had any snow on the ground for about 3 weeks, when we did, it was about 3 to 5 inches.
This morning at about 8am it was 45 degrees, as the day progressed it climbed to 65 degrees about 2pm.
Blue sky some minor clouds and wind 3 to 5 mph Tomorrow supposed to be just about the same................then we will probably slip back into more typical winter weather..................which so far has been VERY mild........................Can You Say: ..."Banana Belt"
