Big weather changes coming, could save the snowpack (esp in WA)

Starting to sound like a significant change in weather pattern is showing up in the next week or so. And the cooler temps and precip might just help us with our weak snowpack up here in WA (OR snowpack isn't that bad, actually).

Would also help those of us who snow slide have a decent spring season.

Most likely the Seeger effect. His favorite lake near Beverly opens March 1, but he needs to get over White Pass to get there... The mountains definitely need snow. Although he’s not in favor, Cliff Mass posted that the Cascades could get up to four feet of snow next week. Skiing should be good.

Here in Sunriver, we got our average yearly snowfall in just two weeks last month. We're doing well enough.

Everytime I hear this I’m so surprised, because it’s felt so mild. But I guess those 2 storms we had (I think it was two?) dropped a lot of snow.

Good news. Heavy mountain snow arrived in early March during the last El nino event too.

Be very cautious if going off piste. What piles up will eventually come down.

I’m an old guy and ski the groomers and the edges. Gave up my mountaineering and far off piste adventures many years ago. I’m mostly happy to see the forecasted increase in snowpack.

The Olympics are very low on snow...so I hope they get some.
