Snow Drought Saps Washington State’s Economy
But this year, the Olympics recorded virtually no snow in all but the highest peaks. The May 1 reading of zero snowpack in the rugged range northwest of Seattle was the lowest since records there began in 1948, and came as statewide snow accumulations totaled a paltry 16% of normal.
Call me crazy, but I predict that the zero snowpack record low will stand for all eternity, or at the very least until mankind invents an unsnowing machine.
