Winter is not done with us yet
From the
National Weather Service for our area:
Special Weather Statement
...A CHANGE TO COLD WET AND POSSIBLY SNOWY WEATHER EXPECTED IN THE MOUNTAINS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...
LATE SEASON SNOW IS EXPECTED IN THE HIGH ELEVATIONS OF THE CASCADES AND OLYMPICS FROM LATE TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL FOLLOW A DECEPTIVELY WARM...DRY AND SUNNY MONDAY.
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING. UNSEASONABLY COLD AIR IS EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT. THE SNOW LEVEL WILL DROP AS LOW AS 3000 FEET AROUND SUNRISE ON WEDNESDAY...RISING TO 4000 FEET ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. MEANWHILE...A SLOW-MOVING LOW PRESSURE CENTER OVER NORTHERN OREGON ON WEDNESDAY WILL SPIN POTENTIALLY COPIOUS PRECIPITATION NORTH INTO THE AREA. THE AFFECT WILL BE SEVERAL INCHES OF ACCUMULATING SNOW AT HIGH ELEVATIONS...ESPECIALLY ABOVE 4000 FEET. THIS WOULD IMPACT HIGHWAY PASSES THAT HAVE ALREADY OPENED FOR THE SUMMER... INCLUDING RAINY PASS AND CHINOOK PASS. STEVENS AND WHITE PASSES COULD ALSO BE IMPACTED. THE CURRENT FORECAST CALLS FOR LITTLE IMPACT AT SNOQUALMIE PASS.
Winter always has the last laugh. We are around 600' so this should not impact us very much.
