I'm having trouble finding a graph like the one below, but including this year: https://twitter.com/NWSSeattle/status/991383672111616000/photo/1 I've looked around on the National Weather Service site but can't find anything else like this. Looking for something to compare this year to previous years for planning hikes this summer. Does anyone know where I could find such a graph? Thanks!

That's even better than what I was looking for. Thanks!

I find it interesting that every area has more snow than average except for Mission Ridge (which is a bit below average). It doesn't seem to be a statistical anomaly either -- there are plenty of years that had more snow. This is a measure of snow depth, not snow water equivalent, so maybe the snow is just more packed down at Mission Ridge.

I also noticed that Mission Ridge seemed lower than the others. I'm interested in the Sawtooths and Pasayten areas, so Mission Ridge (eastside-ish) seemed like the closest measuring location. I wonder how representative it is of the more northern parts of the eastside Cascades.

The Tableau visualization posted is very well done. A couple of other resources: - NWAC has more weather stations than featured in the Tableau report, and you get more granular measurement data: https://nwac.us/weatherdata/ - Washington SNOTEL sites: https://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?layers=719ef67bd41047bd952e497cbe6961d0
