Snow

Hi 21 °F

NOAA is calling for 1-2 feet of snow at Crystal between now and Thursday. Looks like more powder is on the way! The most promising day looks to be Wednesday: “Snow showers. High near 21. West wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.”

Another way of putting it is this (as read in the NWS forecast discussion): A MODIFIED ARCTIC BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO PUSH SOUTHWARD ACROSS WESTERN WASHINGTON WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY…AS FRASER RIVER OUTFLOW INCREASES IN RESPONSE TO STRONG SURFACE RIDGING BUILDING SOUTHWARD OVER INTERIOR BRITISH COLUMBIA.

This could even bring snow to the lowlands. So my suggestion is to get up the mountains. It’s where the snowplows live.

Happy President’s Week in the Cascades!
