wow I didn't know people could leave messages in my profile.. When you asked, 3 years ago, I was commuting from Buffalo to Sugarbush every weekend. Living down in Long Beach NY now, it's 330 miles, where are you located?

Hey thanks that helps a lot. Thanks a bunch.

Hi -- know you are kinda a weather guru so i figured I'd ask you a question that I can't quite rap my head around. Looking at the models (GFS at least) central idaho and western montana; however, the bulk of precip seems to be south of this line. My limited knowledge of this topic would have me believe that the precip should be directly under the highest vorticity. Why isn't that the case for this storm -- and do you have any suggestions for websites that explain this sort of stuff for the northern rockies on a storm by storm basis? Thanks for any help you can provide and sorry for bothering you.
