  1. Where can you find that Olympics Mountains North Cam? I've never seen it before, but it looks like a cool perspective.
  2. This one I made last year based on data from the National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center. I haven't updated it with data from 2022-23 yet and it doesn't represent long term averages, but I think does a good job showing about what different areas in the state pick up.
  3. Still only 34F up here with clear skies. I believe it should freeze the next couple of mornings, but considering how hard they've been to get since mid January I'm honestly not entirely sure.
  4. Pretty amazing how quickly a little sun and warm temperatures can wipe out snow this time of year. Not a flake remains of my 2” from this morning, but it was pretty nice to see it. That bumped my total up to 7” on the winter which is 7” more than I was expecting. I went out to the daffodil fields as the snow was stopping. Pretty cool to see the flowers under a bit of snow.
  5. Burlington just closed as well. Probably should have just kept the 2 hr late start because I'm sure the roads will be fine in an hour or two, but oh well.
  6. Well, that escalated quickly. Approaching 2” now, although looks like I’m about to run out of moisture.
  7. The March snow curse is (somewhat) broken! Moderate snow and 32.6F. Approaching 1/2" on the ground. First time I've had any accumulating snow in March since 2017 and I haven't had more than an inch since 2014. The latest snow I've had here was the 4-6" that fell in mid April 2008. Now that would be something to see a repeat of.
  8. Light rain and 34F here but I've heard reports of snow to my east. I bet @MossMan is getting hammered.
  9. Almost certainly, but it's hard to know whether the summit was above the heaviest precipitation and how much just got wind blasted off the summit.
  10. Paradise picked up 44" that day so it's certainly possible, but it just seems so strange that it would get so much more. I mean honestly, I'm just skeptical of most snow measurements. It's so hard to measure snowfall whether it's from compaction or drifting or too frequent of measurements. The National Center for Environmental Information, which maintains the US weather records acknowledges that this reading is a bit suspect so they also list a 52" one day reading from Winthrop on 1/21/35.
  11. This storm is going to be one of the more impressive ones I've seen in the mountains over the last couple years. At least 31" of new snow at Mt. Baker in the last 24 hours and 40" in the last 30 hours. Should probably pick up another 18-24" by morning. The Washington State 24 hour record is supposedly 65" at Crystal Mountain on 2/24/94, but I find that hard to believe considering how little snow Crystal normally sees. But maybe the pattern was perfect. Paradise has an unofficial record of 70" in 24 hours from 11/26/55 which is a location I'd be more inclined to believe has the record, but that may just be in the record books as a result of not being able to clear off the snowboard one day.
  12. Cold front was pretty weak precipitation wise when it came through here. The temperature drop was impressive with 6 degrees over an hour, but it only rained moderately for a minute or two before letting up again.
  13. 2.5" for the month here and 0.05" on the day. The extra day in the month this year is really going to make a difference in February precip totals here.
  14. Still snowing at 4,000' at Mount Baker as well. Just far enough north to escape the warmest air. Supposedly they have picked up a foot since 6 a.m.
  15. Now this would be exciting. Almost a foot of snow in March? I give it about a zero chance of happening.
