Right around Memorial Day, I saw a report that the Wyoming Tetons had a 600 inch base on the ground (50 feet) that was the heaviest accumulation there since 1939. All of those storms that brought flooding to the Mid West dumped record snowfalls on the Olympics, Cascades, Rockies, Tetons, and every other major mountain range in most of the Northwest...

We’re just coming off of flood stage on the Columbia river here, but the water is still very high...

Here in the Tri-Cities the river seems to be down a couple feet but I noticed they haven’t opened the kids’ swim areas for the Fourth (way too much current).

And there is still 55 feet of snow on Mammoth Mountain in the High Sierra of California.

Good thing the weather doesn’t just stay NORMAL and never change.

We’d all be dead.

We’re headed for the Tetons, Jackson Hole and Yellowstone in three weeks. I hear there is a lot of snow on the trails.

One of my coworkers just came back from a family trip to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. Several of the passes are still closed due to snow.
