Snowfall

Quite a bit earlier than usual - from Cliff Mass:

Early Snow Hits the Northwest
With cold air and plenty of moisture, an early snow has blanketed parts of our region....with convective cells even bringing temporary icing to Portland and vicinity. Blizzard conditions with winds gusting to 50 mph and feet of snow are hitting parts of Montana.

Some of the images this morning are downright...chilling.

Mission Ridge, at 4500 ft above Wenatchee, looks like it received just under a foot by 8 AM this morning.

As far as I can tell, the roat to Artist Point is still open. That usually gets closed in October - last year was the 28th.
