In terms of the percentage of median snow-water equivalent as of November 17, a pronounced dipole pattern exists across the western U.S. with most stations near or above median near and east of the Continental Divide and most stations further west below median. The pattern is a strong one with many stations east of the divide well above median and many west of the divide well below median.

Based on forecasts from the NAEFS, the southern portion of the western CONUS looks to have the best chances for snow over the next week, much of this snow falling with the trough moving across the west through the middle of the work week. There's a little action to the north as well.
The Wasatch aren't entirely dry, but don't get much. Even a few inches would help at this stage. There are, of course a couple of outlier Canadian ensemble members, including one that puts out about 80 inches of snow in 12 hours!
As I like to say, you've got to love the Canadian, even if it is physically implausible. We'll have to look into that one and see what the hell is going on.
On the plus side, the Utah football team is kicking butt and taking names.
