Look at the size of those snowbanks already! wicked cool.
And it looks like theyre farming snow at stevens or something, cool

WEATHER SYNOPSIS FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
Following passage of a moderate to strong upper trough late
Monday that brought further moderate to heavy snow
accumulations to most higher elevation mountain locations, a
gradually and briefly decreasing west to northwesterly upper
flow produced decreasing showers Tuesday morning. Scattered
light showers should continue to diminish Tuesday afternoon
along with some partial clearing in the south-central
Cascades as orographic flow and low level moisture
decreases. However, ongoing moderate west to southwesterly
flow around a very deep upper low in the northern Gulf of
Alaska should continue to circulate substantial moisture
over much of south-central BC Tuesday, and as this moisture
sags slightly southward Tuesday afternoon, gradually
lowering clouds should reach the Olympics and northern
Washington Cascades later Tuesday afternoon. Sagging
moisture from the northern disturbances should combine with
incoming moisture from the next strong disturbance to
produce further increasing clouds and some light rain or
snow in the Olympics and northern Washington Cascades late
Tuesday afternoon and night. This should be accompanied by
gradually increasing ridgetop winds and slowly rising
freezing levels overnight.
By Wednesday morning, more significant effects from the next
strong weather system should become apparent as increasing
moderate rain or snow spreads southward along the
substantially rising freezing levels and further
strengthening winds. Heavy rain or snow, very strong winds
and briefly high freezing levels are expected late Wednesday
morning and afternoon before the front moves east of the
Cascades mid-late Wednesday afternoon. While some insulation
is expected from the warming aloft by a strengthening and
cool easterly surface flow through the Cascade passes late
Tuesday through early Wednesday afternoon, a wind shift to
briefly warmer westerly is likely mid-late Wednesday
afternoon, with snow briefly changing to rain below about 5
to 6000 feet in the central Cascades before cooler air
arrives Wednesday evening. As the front slowly exits the
region late Wednesday afternoon and evening, steady rain or
snow should be replaced by moderate to heavy showers.
Moderate orographic snowfall is likely in most areas near
and west of the Cascade crest and along the west slopes of
the Olympics behind the front Wednesday night as the upper
trough moves over the area.

EXTENDED WEATHER SYNOPSIS FOR THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY
Behind the trough Wednesday night a weak to moderate west to
southwesterly flow should continue around the slightly
filling upper low to maintain a cool and intermittently
moist west to southwesterly flow over the region Thursday,
especially in the northern Washington Cascades and Olympics
which is most likely to be brushed by stronger disturbances
moving by mainly to the north. This should produce periods
of light to moderate snow in the north and generally lighter
snow or snow showers in the south along with some partial
clearing. Slightly stronger weather systems moving by to the
north should produce generally increasing snow or snow
showers in the north-central Washington Cascades and
Olympics late Thursday and early Friday and again later
Friday and early Saturday along with a lesser increase in
light to moderate showers in the south-central Washington
Cascades and Mt Hood area. The next strong weather system
now appear likely to begin affecting the region later
Saturday into Sunday, when moderate to heavy rain or snow,
strong winds and rising freezing levels are likely.
Fortunately, this warming looks rather short lived with a
return to a significantly cooler and still moist westerly
flow likely early next week.
EXTENDED FORECAST FOR THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY
Periods of light to moderate snow or snow showers north-
central Cascades and Olympics Thursday and Friday,
especially late Thursday through early Friday and again
later Friday into early Saturday. Otherwise partly to mostly
cloudy south with light to occasionally moderate showers,
mainly late Thursday through early Friday and again later
Friday into early Saturday. Gradual warming with increasing
winds and increasing light to moderate rain or snow
spreading southward late Saturday. Moderate rain or snow
north with increasing light to moderate rain or snow south
Saturday night into early Sunday.

This happened last December to some degree. We got a base (more than we do now of course) but then we got some really warm systems that brought some rain to the mountains (remember the 27 consecutive days of rain?) and freezing rain and shit. Its only november, so Im not surprised. But it would be nice if the systems would produce snow.

Looking at the3 forcast I amgoing to say that wensday will be a very sick ski day I hope I get it off.
Yeah, next Thanksgiving weekend could be a lot of fun alright....
If they open that chair tomorrow, Crystal if officially insane. All of that 'fresh snow' got rained on, at every elevation, so now its just impenetrable ice with tons of frozen cookies. I was looking up from Forest Queen today, and the amount of rocks up there is.... high. Very high. Ski patrol were going up the chair today, but that shit is going to suck sooooo bad tomorrow.
I'm sleeping in, then to a few bars that night to celebrate my friends 21st and then going home to get smashed and have a real party in his honor. I'm not skiing until we get more snow.
Thanksgiving weekend is looking alright... hope it doesnt warm up any more. We could be skiing some pow that day...

Well the system that hit us with warm temps and precip today IS GONE! The COLD FRONT moved in on its heels and as of late this afternoon it has been SNOWING ALL THE WAY DOWN BELOW WHITE SALMON.
LOTS OF SNOW IN THE FORECAST: The forecasts are looking promising for this cooling pattern to stick around all week with the freezing level down around 2,000 feet. We are expecting 2 - 4 inches of NEW SNOW by Monday morning. For Tuesday, another 5 - 10 inches of new snow is in the forecast and then another 5 - 10 inches is expected Wednesday with still more snowfall expected Thursday and through the weekend.
In the next week we are looking at 20 to 40 INCHES OF FRESH SNOW. This new snow combined with the great snow coverage we already have should make for some FUN SKIING AND RIDING THIS COMING THANKSGIVING WEEK.

Crap, chance of snow down in the lowlands this week. Skipping school is definitely probable.
