It may be partly cloudy where you’re at today, but don’t let that fool you.  Heavy snow continues to fall up in the mountains.  The first image is of the road leading to Timberline lodge on Mt. Hood, the second image is Santiam Pass.  Both locations have moderate to heavy snow falling.  Another 5 to 10 inches will fall the rest of today.

The Cascades

• Sunday still looks extremely snowy with another 14 to 18 inches by Monday morning.
• Monday and Tuesday:  a few snow showers both days, but overall much better conditions if your travels take you into the Cascades.

The Coast Range

• Highways are temporarily done with accumulating snow and should stay clear through Sunday afternoon.  At some point Sunday early evening the Coast Range will switch back to snow and will stay snowy until Monday morning.
• Monday and Tuesday:  a few rain and snow showers mixed, but roads should stay clear thanks to our increasing sun angel 🙂

A super fast update for the mountains.
