episode_narrativeA 170 kt upper level jet dove south out of British Columbia into Washington and Oregon by early Saturday November 16th which provided strong lift and precipitation across north-central Idaho into western Montana. An arctic cold front brought gusty winds and heavy snow at times across Glacier National park and along US-2 from West Glacier to Marias Pass on the 16th. As the orientation of the upper level jet became more northwesterly by the 17th and moved off to the north and east, showers were felt across much of the area.
