Wednesday-Thursday Mt Hood snow forecast & Gorge wind n’ weather. I’ll do just wind tomorrow – way short on time!

Hey skiers and snowboarders! Thank goodness we picked up a couple of feet of snow this week at the higher ski resorts, because we're headed for another week of dry weather. I just went down the historical database rabbit-hole. Our snowpack is currently at 39% of normal and stands at the 7th percentile. We're in the company of these years: 2015 (when I rode my bike over Vista Ridge – 4000' – in March), 2005 (almost as bad as 2015, which was the driest of all), 1981 (it recovered a bit), and 2003 (came close to average at the end). Of note with '03 and '81 is that it stayed cold and kept snowing into May, something we haven't seen in the last 5 years or more. Anyway... Models keep us dry until March 4th or so, and then they offer up precipitation but no certainty around temps. The post Wednesday-Thursday Mt Hood snow forecast & Gorge wind n’ weather.
