Cascades mountain passes reporting near historic levels of snow this winter Abby Acone, KOMO News Meteorologist/Reporter
This week, feet of snow over the Cascades have made for near-impossible driving and high avalanche danger.
This extended bout of cold and snow over the mountains is largely due to the weather pattern La Niña. She’s living up to expectations this winter.
So far this season, Snoqualmie Pass is reporting 375 inches of snow. That s equal to about 31 feet. That number is higher than the last two years and this season isn’t even over yet. Yeah, it’s fantastic, coming from Colorado, it’s definitely like good to see a lot of snow, said Danny Robles, a snowboarder along Snoqualmie Pass.
