Fresh Snow on West Moraine, Mt. Hood

Not bad for November

Winter has arrived on Mt. Hood. At least for the moment. Coverage below timberline is very limited. Coverage above timberline is marginal, but where there's snow, it's pretty good. Timberline ski area is reporting only 7 inches in the past 24 hours, and a base depth of 17 in.
