I was taking down fire restriction signs in a foot of snow yesterday in Idaho.

Have I offended you today?

For those with more experience in the North Cascades National Park than I do - any chance of the new snow between 5000' and 6500' disappearing by the end of the month with the incoming warmer weather, or is it here to stay?

(I ask because I'd planned a hike at the end of the month around Berdeen that has a short section over a small glacier, but with end-of-season conditions I'm not sure I'd want to do that if there's fresh snow as well, even with crampons and axes).

Thanks from a BC boy!

Bump....considering the last couple of days.  Pow Pow city up in them-thar-hills.

3" and snowing @900' in the Wenatchee Valley with possibility of 4" plus more over the next few days at this elevation.

Stevens was very good last couple days, but Mt Baker is where its at.
Report of 9' in 1 week!

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.

A mere four inches in the Okanogan Valley. It was just right for the Yooper scooper

What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

2-3 feet expected in much of the Cascades by Sunday afternoon (snow levels 2000-3000 feet this weekend) followed by a very cold period next week.

Its coming with some hefty westerly winds too... on top of good sliding layer from the recent clear nights.

The wind slabs on easterly aspects are going to be massive this weekend.

[thunderhead]

oh and before I give anyone the wrong impression... non-easterly aspects will still have plenty of storm snow on a probable sliding layer, especially if they can avoid the wind.

The Cascades are supposed to get lots of snow and cold temps throughout area.

Sunny 32° NE gusts to low 30's. Much higher in the Strait

Was sunny earlier but it just started snowing here in Burien.  I don't think it'll last long though, the clouds look pretty broken up.  It's not even that cold.

What's with the newscasters all saying "coldest air of the season?"  My dog's water bowl wasn't even frozen this morning and it has been several times earlier this season...

Back to sunny now, but with a blustery North wind which usually means cold air on the way.

56" at Lookout Pass from Thursday night through Monday morning. Not HUGE, but still quite significant.
