KingWilliam and I chased the fabulous forecast up to the Pass hoping to catch a few runs in prime June powder. The trusty Escort Wagon made easy work of an untracked 2" into the Alpy parking lot. It snowed lightly all morning, with flakes getting fatter and wetter as the sun rose. As we headed up the SW side of Snoqualmie, our hopes were dashed at ~5300' by a saturated and slippery layer (last week's snow, I presume) under the 6-18+" of wonderful. Heading further up seemed foolhardy (yet oh so attractive), and heading down looked really fun. A quick run turned into another lap before the snow started getting heavy.
The trees shooed us out of the forest and back to the car with copious, yet moderately friendly, tree bombs. Precipitation continued below North Bend with a rain/snow line at ~exit 47 at ~11:30 am.
Junetober's a pretty great month.

unless you're looking forward to the imminent corn, in which case junetober is looking past the good stuff, while junuary seems appropriate for a transient flashback.

'Tis true. The prospect of having skied snoqualmie powder and summit volcano corn in less than a week's time is pretty nifty.
I think this belongs in this thread, just for Tuesday's juxtaposition's sake:
.THURSDAY NIGHT...PARTLY CLOUDY. FREEZING LEVEL 12000 FEET.
.FRIDAY...MOSTLY CLOUDY. FREEZING LEVEL 11000 FEET.
.FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...PARTLY CLOUDY. FREEZING LEVEL
10500 FEET.
