2019 Snow Level
Re: 2019 Snow Level
I walked the TLT from Coe to Elk Cove today 11/23. Very little snow, even bare in spots. Surely this has to be the last day though.
Re: 2019 Snow Level
Same for me on Adams. I hiked up Shorthorn, no snow at the trailhead. A few inches on the plateau a couple miles in. Up on Round the Mountain, it alternated between bare on open south-facing slopes, and up to 5" in sheltered areas. And the snow was soft and seemed to be very recent. Last day this season for something like that.
There was an inversion. It was low 30s in Trout Lake and low 40s at the trailhead. Seemed to stay in the 40s all day, up to 6000'.

I was 5500 feet in Mill Creek Wilderness in Ochoco Mts
No snow until 1 inch fell, but I think melted by now

Re: 2019 Snow Level
I'm pretty sure that is going to change in the next couple of days. Whether or not it closes things down for the year is still to be determined. I was up at the lookout (5500') last weekend and there was no snow anywhere to be seen.greenjello85 wrote: ↑November 24th, 2019, 4:45 pmBull of the woods wilderness is still snow free.

Re: 2019 Snow Level
Hiked McNeil Point from Top Spur Trailhead on 11-23. Snow doesn't really start until 2nd loop. At the shelter, there's about 1' of snow. Climbed further up and most of the hike was covered in approx. 1'-1'6" of snow. Looked like the sun still got to the most exposed areas but much of it has stayed intact with a thin icy layer. Was up there last Saturday and there was hardly any snow near the shelter and virtually none at the start of the loop.
Pics were taken 1 week apart. One with most snow is from 11-23.

Field report: just south of Hood River, near Parkdale, main roads plowed and sanded, but icy. Parking is tough, no shoulders anywhere.
Re: 2019 Snow Level
Snow in the Gorge is down to 84 from Angel's Rest to Hood River. West of Cascade Locks it's just a dusting at road level; east of CL, it is snowed in at the THs and likely more the higher you go. Hood River got a couple of fresh inches on the hills overnight, and it's snowy down to the river in town.

Re: 2019 Snow Level
Scattered snow and ice on the top 1/3 of Hamilton Mountain yesterday. I put microspikes on for some of the icy step ups and kept them on to the top and back. No fall risks for an old guy!

Shellrock Mountain, 2090'
Essentially bare, just a few tiny patches.
