Snow Survey Doesn't Look Good – Today

When Snow Surveyor Jon Lea goes up Mount Hood this time of year he expects deep snow and cold weather. But this week: “It felt very much like a nice spring day up on Mt. Hood where we did our survey. At our snow station up there we measured 74 inches of depth and there was 33.5 inches of water in the snowpack at 78% of average.” Lea reminds us that we still have more than a month of winter to get the water-heavy snow we need for summer.
