I’ll pass on that

I’d like to pass as well, but I can’t.

We are supposed to get several FEET in the cascades this week, going to take screenshots each morning and see how it effects our snowpack percentages based on the snotel website

I went for a hike last week up near Augusta. You could drive in 15 miles further than last year, and the deepest snow i encountered was maybe 18". Pretty sad!

Pretty bleak in some areas.

We’re sitting good here in AK for snowfall/pack, with most if not all, areas in the state above normal, but it’s the extreme cold weather that is really setting a persistent. This winter, across the state, has been the coldest we’ve seen in the last 55 years. The only rival is the winter of 1970/71. It was -45° in areas around Fairbanks last night.

Well up high in north central Idaho did good this week. Lolo pass was a lane wide this morning.

Lower down has been pretty fugly today. Lots of flooding and mudslides.

Been watching logs float down the Clearwater River today.

Runoff is going into full swing 2 months early at the Colorado Headwaters with SWE/snowpack at record lows.

1-2 inches of snow tomorrow with record temperatures throughout the entire state this week. Denver is supposed to be 90 F lol!

Heck of a storm we had in the Cascades this last week...

 

[wowzers]

I think some of the higher spots around here got upwards of 5’ in the last week.

MT looking good. I heard Lolo Pass got 59" this past storm.

I was away in Arizona and came back to 10" of wet snow on the ground in town; local mountains saw close 2'

Unfortunately they're calling for well above normal temps the next week (like 25-30° above normal) and no more moisture

Arizona (like New Mexico) is in very sad shape—no snow and HOT—hot enough I called my backpacking trip off after three days (was supposed to be ten days)
