Snow report- March 28th, 2008
We had a dusting of snow again y’day morning but no accumulation. For those
contemplating coming over the Pass today or tonight I thought you should be
aware of this forecast:
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 5 TO 8 INCHES ARE EXPECTED IN THE VALLEYS OF THE EAST SLOPES OF THE CASCADES BY SATURDAY MORNING. SNOW WILL INCREASE FRIDAY MORNING AND BE LOCALLY HEAVY DURING THE DAY. THE HEAVIEST VALLEY ACCUMULATIONS WILL LIKELY BE OVER THE METHOW VALLEY…WHERE HEAVY SNOW COULD LINGER THROUGH THE NIGHT.
LOCALIZED ACCUMULATIONS IN THE MOUNTAINS
COULD REACH A FOOT BY SATURDAY MORNING.
Does anybody know the condition of the road leading to the South Shore Summer Homes after Camp Zanika?
Is it drivable yet?
Thanks
April 1st, 2008 at 10:58 amIt has not been opened up yet. I think it’s usually right around April 1st that the County opens it up but it has not been done to date. There is still a lot of snow on a lot of the North aspect ground up here.
April 2nd, 2008 at 9:23 amTHE COUNTY ROAD SHOP ADVISED TODAY THAT THEY EXPECT TO OPEN THE ROAD BEYOND CAMP ZANIKA A DAY OR TWO BEFORE THE 15TH OF THIS MONTH.
April 2nd, 2008 at 2:50 pmSorry to change the subject, but is that open water I see on Fish lake?
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:18 amAhh, perfect. Thanks for the update. Weekend of the 19th here I come!
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:58 amYes- That is open water on Fish Lake- y’day the open areas were to the West end of the lake but the ice is loose and shifting. Will probably be gone altogether soon……
April 4th, 2008 at 6:48 amWow,when the ice goes, it goes fast, doesn’t it!
April 4th, 2008 at 3:16 pmSorry for the topic change, but is it true you can legally park at Stevens Nordic Center after the 15th and snowmobile from there? If so, is it legal to ride the backside of the ski hill as well?
April 8th, 2008 at 2:10 pmWe hiked in to our south shore cabin (#26) over the Apr6-7 weekend and the snow is still very deep; 4-5′ in some places on the road. It’s walkable w/o sshoes but not drivable due to deep drifts. Hiked to Hidden Lake w/o sshoes, awesome! Still frozen.
April 8th, 2008 at 2:54 pmI was skiing at Stevens y’day and asked a few staff folks up there and though their answers were not authoritative or official it appears you can park at the Nordic area and take snowmobiles into the back bowl areas but not onto the front areas of the mountain.
April 10th, 2008 at 7:19 amThanks for checking on that George. Sounds like lots of fun still left in the season.
