In addition, the Mt. Baker ski area has the deepest snow base of all North American ski areas!

I mean, that's a super low bar. And it's one of the highest elevation ski areas.

It does appear that ridging is going to win out in March, as Nito predicted.

+18 in SW Alberta this currently. It was -40c in High Level Alberta (NW) this morning (now -19c). Quite the temperature difference!

Almost 16°C here today. Spring-like conditions.

30-50 mm for us tomorrow, according to EC. I'll believe it when I see it...

:14clown: There won’t be any snow here, of course. That is a given. But maybe some for the coast and Skagit County, WA?

As we seen all winter....models continue to underdo the westerly energy and overdo the southward progression of troughs.

We are likely seeing mild advection rains through mid month before the heat ramps up. The alpine areas are seeing a continued thaw.
