I have never seen a winter here with so little snow and almost no cold weather in town. (we are at 3600' elevation and on the east side of the Cascade Range.) In Central Oregon, except for a surprise, fast-disappearing storm in early November, our snow cover this winter in the lower elevations has amounted to one storm that left 1 inch!
The Oregon mountains aren't doing much better...about 90 inches at the ski mountain, and only 75% of normal moisture. That follows a year that was a borderline drought year that featured some major forest fires.
Not a good sign. I hear from my mother in Colorado, there hasn't been much moisture there either. How's it going in north Washington state? (planning a trip there this season.)
Gonna have a bunch of grumpy fish this coming season!!
