Lookit That Deep Blue Square

In the Olympic Mountains this spring, there is a heck of a lot of water locked up in the snow. 175%-200% of average. Ditto near Nevada City, California, where I have friends who keep getting snowed in...

Snow-Water Equivalent (Click for larger image.)

At the Waterhole Snotel on Hurricane Ridge, it's looking like if we don't get a warm wet storm to help it along, the road to Obstruction Point might not melt out until August...

Up the Dungeness, too.

PS for R&R, and VW. I don't know which of the SnoTel sensors on this map we should be looking at...

The Park website says there are 146" of snow at the stake.

What's with that outlier in NW Oregon, or is that a >200%?
