Here it comes... lots and lots of snow! The graphic above is my updated Monday morning forecast for Mount Hood. We've entered a very active weather pattern... and there should be significant new snow every day this week. It'll be high-quality new snow too... as the snow level will be no higher than 3,000 feet all week. But be prepared for stormy weather -- it'll be snowin' and blowin' up there.
Looking further ahead, I'm a little concerned about a wet & mild weather pattern developing over the weekend. But, even if that pattern develops, the indications are that it won't last long. There's still lots of time for the computer models to change their tune between now and then, however, so we'll hope for a different tune!
I'm going to head up the hill for some turns this afternoon. More later...

Hey Drew!
The extra snow this week is going to be very helpful - I ran over a couple of stumps on Sunday and also noticed that there was some grass on the back side of a lot of rollers.
I've noticed that the NWAC forecasts are really helpful because they forecast the freezing level and they tend to be more accurate than the forecasts from NOAA's website. Do find that some weather services are more accurate than others?
Thanks for the great updates!

Dylan,
The NWAC forecasts are EXCELLENT. The National Weather Service (NWS) does a great job, too... but those forecasters are spread a bit more thin with all the different areas they must monitor and forecast for. The NWAC forecasters can specifically focus on mountain weather, which is why they are generally the best mountain weather forecasters (IMHO).
