"WeatherA stormy, progressive pattern will keep the Pacific Northwest in a steady feed of snow through Wednesday night (12/24), with the most sustained totals stacking up in the north and the best-quality, lightest snow favoring higher terrain and Whistler. Snow levels stay mostly low enough for all-snow at resort elevations during the core waves, but there are a couple milder pulses that briefly lift snow levels (especially Sunday into early next week),"
"Winds are a notable part of the story on the Oregon Cascades volcanoes, with several periods of strong ridgetop gusts that could impact comfort and upper-mountain conditions even when it is snowing hard. Looking beyond Christmas, the broader pattern continues to favor additional storminess across the West, including the Pacific Northwest, so expect more opportunities for fresh snow after this window."
A stormy progressive pattern will keep the Pacific Northwest in steady snow through Wednesday night (12/24), with the most sustained totals in the north and the lightest, best-quality snow at higher terrain and Whistler. Snow levels will mostly remain low enough for all-snow at resort elevations, though milder pulses (especially Sunday into early next week) will briefly lift snow levels and produce denser or wet snow at lower elevations. Strong ridgetop gusts are expected on Oregon Cascades volcanoes, affecting comfort and upper-mountain conditions. Friday night (12/19) through Sunday (12/21) will bring an initial productive burst followed by steadier accumulations as the flow turns southwest. Snow liquid ratios commonly range 10-13:1 in the Washington and Oregon Cascades, 13-15:1 at Whistler, with Snoqualmie Pass seeing frequent refreshers and occasional heavier, moisture-laden snow with SLRs dipping to 8-10:1.
