It's been almost two weeks of torture since New Year's Day weekend, which was the last time we had winter snow. Then it got wet, moist, foggy, misty, inverted, the whole PNW enchilada. Did I say wet? We were at about 80" and proud puppies, top open, NWX tree pow riding well, laughing at the thin bases at spots to the east. I never like to admit on this forum that it rains here, but it did. We lost almost 30" of snow pack. At least there's no facet/crust/sandwich death layer down below. Just "muy duro" consolidated concrete.
Then it cooled down and started to snow! What a concept, snow in January. Anyways, it never takes much to heal a broken snow pack around here. Which is maybe why I live here. Seriously folks, it wasn't that bad. I actually got in a bunch of days, kinda like spring in January.
Looked like this today.
This fellow is a regular foot.
They usually report less than you get, so today was disappointing. The report was 4" new overnight, over yesterday's 3". Hmmm, not sure.
The top 1/3 of Pine and NWX were soft cream cheese pow, soft curd to some slight scrape-through turns lower down.
Some stats: 61"/64" lower and mid-mountain (believable), with 11" in the last 72 hours. A reported 203" so far this season.
