Mt Baker Has 33 Inches and is Still Dumping

A warm front pushed into the Cascades on Wednesday morning and has brought 33 inches in just 18 hours to the northern Cascades. Stevens Pass has 13 inches with Whistler reporting 12 inches Tuesday night. It is still dumping in the Cascade ranges or Washington. UPDATE : Thursday 3AM- Unofficial calculations with Telemetry show Baker currently at 47 inches (48 hours) with heavy snowfall ongoing. Models show another 12 inches likely on Thursday!

Temps warmed to near freezing at most ski areas with mixed precipitation falling below 4,000 feet. Many ski areas, including Whistler, had multiple lift closures due to winds and heavy snow on Wednesday.

Colder air moves in after midnight to the Cascade ranges with wet dense snow turning much lighter by Thursday morning (Intensity decreasing). Winds should also decrease.

Snow will filter south on Wednesday night with Crystal, White Pass, and northern Oregon finally getting into the action for Thursday morning. They only reported light snow on Wednesday.

The next 3-4 days will be very active over the west with 5-7 feet for the Sierra and 2-3 feet for areas of the Rockies and Idaho. Stay tuned!
