It's a huge difference. Driving down to work in the valley during a lot of these situations, you see the different snow lines. It's fascinating. I'd say around 1000-1200' (At least down here.), you would get a lot of minor slushy 1-2" events that are 3-6" up around 1600'. That's the main transition zone. I also know some folks who live up around 2200' and they get absolutely blasted some years.

Oil is a funny thing, can't live with it apparently and can't live without it. Despite it affording us most modern conveniences it is also the devils work. Even alternatives have their negative environmental impacts. Its almost like everything has a give and take, a pro and a con.

It’s amazing to me how much better the climate in the PNW is above 1,000 - 1500 feet. Especially above 1500 feet there is a noticeable jump in snowfall. I live a hair above 600 feet and the foothills of the Cascades are basically in my backyard. There are many days that I can see snow just above 1,200 feet in winter. It’s beautiful yet frustrating.

Phil’s had some historically bad misses over the years but it seems like he has been doing extremely well this season so far.
