Finally Snowing Again!

Crystal reporting 4-5 inches today, and the NOAA site forecasting 2-4 inches tonight in the Snoqualmie Pass area. NOAA also has a Winter Advisory in effect forecasting 3-9 inches tonight, with most coming in Mt. Rainier National Park. The Summit is reporting 2 inches since 5am and Stevens is reporting snowing, but no mention of accumulation. A look at the satellite shows a weak system moving through, with snow expected to stop around 10pm tonight. Could be some good touring near Crystal this weekend or up at Rainier.

High pressure holding off the snow

No precipitation for a week as we sit under high pressure (1019.7mb) this week. This system should be weakening by Friday but not much precipitation predicted for this weekend. Please, salvage us some winter! The skiers and boarders are dying for snow but January simply did not deliver.
