We are experiencing a wet La Nina much like our biggest El Nino winters. Northern Calif eight station index is right at 26 inches and equal to the 1982 - 1983 winter curve, our second strongest in recent history. Only 2016 - 2017 exceeded it. Now maybe our over-supply of rain will diminish in future months, but it doesn't seem like it at present.

I remember 1968-1969 being a big snow year. I was teaching skiing on Mt. Hood slopes at the time. The snow bases were very deep up and down the coast. Mt. Baker was the extreme outlier back then. I suspect Seattle had plenty of snow in the down town. Portland certainly did. I had to drive between McMinnville and Mt. Hood every weekend in order to get to and from classes at school and on the mountain. If Seattle had snow I suspect your Vancouver did too. My little 1961 Valiant Station Wagon was no match for the driving conditions but it was the best I had at the time. I know that California also had excessive snow that winter. I also remember very dry winters in the Sierra in both the early 1960s and late 1950s. I don't think anyone other than the Chilian fisherman understood the El Nino/La Nina cycles back then.
