[pct-l] Snow, snow and more snow

[Steel-Eye]

Good afternoon, MoonPie,

We're getting about the same here near Mt. Hood.  I only have about 14" at 1,290 Ft. elevation, but 25 miles away at Timberline Lodge there are 149" compacted from the season total this far of 416".  24" have fallen in the last 72 hours, but it's snowing now, and it will continue fairly hard for the next couple of days.

What happens to all of that water?  The Columbia River dumps an average of 265,000 cu. ft./sec. into the Pacific Ocean.

  Hey all,
  So, I'm caretaking a backcountry off the grid cabin four miles, as the crow flies, from Snoqualamie Pass. IT's barfing snow here. It's snowed two feet since satursday evening....10 inches since 10 pm last night. And it's still coming down like I"ve never seen it before. Unreal!

  Woke up to the sounds of avalanche blasting on the pass....
   
  I'm spending the day trying to get the weight of the snow off the cabin roof....it's getting scary. 
   
  But lovin it!
   
  Dreaming of the PCT....
