Harsh Winter Weather Faces Northwest with Over 100 Inches of Snow and Temperatures Plunging to 40 Below Zero

Over 100 inches of snow is forecast to bury parts of the Northwest into the weekend as bitter Arctic air clashes with a series of storms originating from the Pacific, leading to blizzard conditions, subzero temperatures, and major travel disruptions.

Multiple feet of snow can accumulate in the high elevations of the Cascades and Sierra Nevada into the weekend.

The recent storm systems impacting the Northwest have also tracked eastward across the country, sparking the most far-reaching and impactful winter events so far this season over the central and eastern United States.

Additional waves of frigid Canadian air are likely to push southward through the remainder of January, ensuring winter maintains its icy grip on the nation.

The incoming storms through the weekend may dump up to 100 inches of total snowfall in the hardest-hit zones per Weather Local StormMax projections.
