Not around here - we have record snow levels and the snow is excellent. I don't believe it rains at 11,000 anywhere in the Northern hemisphere in January - got any weather reports to back that up? climatewatch.noaa.gov On March 15, the Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center in Seattle, Washington, reported that Mount Baker — the third-highest mountain in Washington State — had received more than 9 feet of new snow in just six days, bringing the total depth to 254 inches, or just over 21 feet. That is well above the climatological average of 164 inches (155% of normal, based on observations since 1926), but still less than the maximum snow depth ever recorded by mid-March. That record is 305 inches, which occurred in 1999—also a La Niña winter—the same winter that the Mount Baker Ski Area went on to set the world record for snowfall in a single season.
