Weve got the first gauge above 10 inches of rain. https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=sew&issuedby=SEW&product=RRM Most noteworthy i think is the 6+ inches recorded in auburn. Not bad for the lowlands/seattle metro! Overall the distribution between lowlands/highlands is more even than i would expect. Interesting. Not done yet either. Another inch or two coming i think.

From what I read yesterday, The Loup did not get much snow out of this. They will start packing but don't have enough to open. I do not know about the cross country trails up there but will assume there isn't enough snow yet to groom. We got 4 inches of heavy, wet snow. The avalanches coming off the roofs in the neighborhood were impressive and it was hard snow to clear. The neighborhood was busy doing that and the volunteer snowplower--yup, we got one, improved the city plow work and cleared out driveway berms. I shall make him some cookies.

It wasn't good for skiing, but great for glaciers. Mt. Baker got 25" of snow at the lodge, but it rained at times and there has been little snow since. But it should have been mostly snow, and 60-70" of it at and above 5000' (may have rained a little). Hurricane seems to have gotten almost all snow - like 50" of it - but fairly wet snow. Stevens probably got little snow but some freezing rain. Alpental got a foot of snow, then freezing rain and finally about 4" new near the top. Total rainfall, though, was similar to Baker. Crystal shows 9" new at 6000' on the webcam, but it rained much of the time. Even the summit webcam shows icicles on the heavily covered chairs. Paradise got shafted with almost no snow out of this. Washington Pass accumulated 28" of new snow, but it also clearly rained there and has snowed little since - maybe 4-5". Somewhere around 6000' it was likely almost all snow. And so it goes, another dust on crust event. Perhaps some places will get up to 6" of drier snow before it ends..... The freezing level this morning (4AM) ranges from 3600' at Quillayute to 5700' at Boeing Field and then ramps up to 8500' at Pendleton, Or.
