Well we have had very little low elevation snow this past winter season and as spring open there was nary a flake of snow on the foothills. Only the majestic and mighty Cascade volcanoes were wearing a mantle of white the day Miss Spring took the reigns of control. This past weekend brought some thunderstorms and quite a bit of heavy hail in some of our valley locations. The foothills got a dusting of snow down to mid-slope at around 2500 to 3000 feet.
It seems we have transitioned from dry to wet over the last week or so. Local hydrologists have been worried that a weak snow pack in the Cascades could lead to an early and possibly dangerous fire season this summer. Let's just hope the springtime delivers some tasy snow events in the foothills and the high cascades to help keep us lush and green through the summer. meanwhile get out and soak it up my friends, soak it up :)
